I don't know what you meant, but I wasn't referring to anyone here. Not you, not anyone.

The general condition, these days, is STUPIDITY. Driving cars into phone poles, or head-on into opposing traffic. Stupid mistakes in customer service. Stupid choices dealing with sudden financial issues - like charging food on credit cards. Stupid choices, generally - expensive cars or homes the buyers/lessors cannot afford.

And of course, panic over things like AI. Not just here; in general.

There's a lot of half-witted conspiracy stuff...like that ship-bridge wreck in Baltimore. Everyone thinks Aliens or Russians used the Internet to steer that ship into the bridge supports. I've patiently explained why that's impossible...but the imbecilic nonsense goes on, not just in my earshot, but everywhere.

Facts don't matter. THAT, mate, is STUPIDITY.

And that is what's going to destroy us - stupidity in government, in non-enforcement of law, in media mind-control propaganda.
