If stupidity is the most abundant element in your segment of the galaxy? Are you a contributor to the problem or the solution?

Well, it goes like this.
If stupidity is the most abundant thing in the universe, then a large percentage of the universe must be (or at least must contain) it. Therefore, when you get right down to it, everything is stupid, sooner or later.
Yet this does not answer the the eternal riddle, is it possible to split stupidity?! And if so what do you get?

Straight Forward
Stupidity is like an molecule made up of atoms.
It is a "simple"smiley - erm molecule made up of
Optimisim, Paranoia, Tunnell Vision, Narcisstic tendencies amongst others. Throw in the fact that when assembled Stupidity becomes self aware with no value for its own existence and this explains the ability of stupidity to kill its host in a spectular fashionsmiley - cool

The Futurist

We have no good reason for thinking that stupidity is the most plentiful thing in the universe or galaxy, as so far it has only been detected on Earth, whereas with telescopes and spectrographic instruments we are finding hydrogen everywhere in space we look.

Furthermore, on Earth simple-mindedness is at least as plentiful as stupidity, and lacking a sense of humour and taking things unnecessarily literally is not far behind.

Uh Ha! Stupidity!! I had always believed that people that don't understand something will think stupid, or think that someone else is stupid.I think this comes back to. A person who thinks another a fool, is really the fool
