Short circuit In my Brain Last Night(Do ye call it stupidity!!)

Dejavu!!Its interesting to explore how stupidity is widespread around us. An interesting research on stupidity is always an entertaining topic to deal with. After a long tiring day, my little body is weary to hit the pillow, but my restless mind keeps on pondering over the stupid incidents happened recently, stupid people I encountered, the stupid society and the whole stupid world to put it in a nutshell, rather. I am repeatedly and recurrently startled by a couple of facts that, people whom I had once judged rational and intelligent turn out to be unashamedly stupid.Secondly,as days progresses am bitten and harassed in my activities by stupid individuals who appear suddenly and unexpectedly in the most inconvenient places and at the most improbable moments.
As a Bioinformatician, I wonder many times how the cultural trends now fashionable not only in the west favors an egalitarian approach to life.Bioinformaticians, geneticists and sociologists grill their brains to prove their way with an impressive amount of scientific data and formulations that all men are naturally equal and if some are more equal than others, that is attributable to nurture than nature. Also from the facts I know, Men are not equal, some are stupid and others are not and that the difference is determined by nature not by cultural forces are factors. Having said this, modified version of Mendel’s second law goes like this, “The probability that a certain person be stupid is independent of any other characteristics of that person”.
The most remarkable fact about the frequency of stupidity is that Nature succeeds in making this frequency equal to the probability quite independently from the size of the group. Thus I obviously find the same percentage of stupid people whether I am considering very large group or a very small ones. Another striking fact is that education has nothing to do with the probability of these stupids. Different population groups namely the blue collar workers, white collar employees, students, professors even the Nobel Laureates comprise of a small fraction of population who are ideally stupids.Whether I consider classical, or medieval, or modern or contemporary times am quite impressed by the fact that any country moving uphill has its unavoidable fraction of stupid people. However the country moving uphill also has an unusually high fraction of intelligent people who manage to keep the stupid fraction at bay and at the same time these intelligent ppl produce enough gains for themselves and the other members of the community to make progress a certainty. Now u might start wondering whether am afflicted with schizophrenia or a kinda neurodegenerative disorder.Well..These are some of the patterns that bombard a cascade of thoughts in my highly convoluted network interface. Sounds some symptom of stupidity!!!EscapeJ
