Kindle Customer: I have dealt with stupid people who were stupid by the definition of this book. They have cost me horrible loss in every way. At times I would have had to classify myself as Helpless. But I have learned. This book is helpful in showing me what I already knew. It helps me now in recognizing Bandits currently in our federal government. They demonstrate their stupidity by working very hard to destroy the constitutional republic and capitalism.

Ich kann - ohne zu spoilern - dieses kurze, und sehr unterhaltsam-informative Buch sehr empfehlen.

Down8ve: The description of a society in decline nails the present-day United States with devastating accuracy; having an abundance of leadership in the Bs area of Figure 1, with an ever-growing numbers of those in the H quadrant, combine with the Stupid to pretty much ruin everything.

HG: Ein rationaler Ansatz Dummheit und die sozialen Implikationen zu verstehen. Die Definition von Dummheit überzeugt. Ist zwar nur ein theoretischer Ansatz. Trotzdem sehr hilfreich.

Kitchen Drone: So much wisdom in so little time and space. It answers the question why a person cannot be educated out of stupidity. Stupid is a constant independent of all external factors.

Amazon Customer: I am vey surprised on how the author explain each of the 4 types of person.
I personally use this concept to keeping myself away from stupidity as much as possible.
It would be much better if the book also explain how to deal with stupidity and how to upgrade oneself.

Saurabh: This is more like a review paper rather than a book. Quite interesting read, exploring multiple avenues by which stupid people impact their surroundings and most importantly who essentially is a stupid person.
