Dumb People Are Dumb
by Steve Gibson, Jan 19, 2000 1:47am PSTSaw this link to a NYTimes article from ArsTechnica and I just had to share. Some scientists actually took the time to study dumb people and came to the conclusion that they are in fact, dumb. Rumor has it the scientists are looking into testing smart people next to see if they really are smart. Problem being everyone knows these are the same dudes who wasted all that money to figure out dumb people really are dumb and wont go near them.
"Not only do they [the incompetent] reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but their incompetence robs them of the ability to realize it," wrote Dr. Kruger, now an assistant professor at the University of Illinois, and Dr. Dunning. This deficiency in "self-monitoring skills," the researchers said, helps explain the tendency of the humor-impaired to persist in telling jokes that are not funny, of day traders to repeatedly jump into the market -- and repeatedly lose out -- and of the politically clueless to continue holding forth at dinner parties on the fine points of campaign strategy.update Clay - in case you are wondering, this explains my ability to post news that has already been reported, and my INability to realize that I have.

<Homer>Ooohh .. but I want SWAT 3</H>
*Which I already had on my system, but, uh, wanted to own the CD for :-]
the raido chatter specifically makes swat 3 kind of stand out, because you use your radio alot in your missions. for extracting the wounded, prisoners, hostages, etc.
if you like rainbow 6, youll like swat 3... its hard to get used to (if you\'re used to rainbow 6 believe it or not), but its really a good game.

the smarter one becomes the more one realizes how stupid he-she-we really are. so the more knowledge we attain the more we realize that we aren\'t that smart or intelligent .
This is very very true.
thank you for your time

News of this sale boosted mIRC Co. Ltd\'s stock value to a new 52-week high of 1/16th. Analysts report that the UK-based company could see revenues as high as $40 this year, an increase of $40 from 1999.

\"Thus the affliction of foreknowledge but the impotence to do anything about it\"

\"Not only do they reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but their incompetence robs them of the ability to realize it\"

It\'ll start with me walking on-screen. I\'ll say \"AOL sucks my extra-large nuts. Get a real isp.\" Then I\'ll walk off. And they can flash that colorful shooting star across or something.
:P
Speaking of AOL ... Anyone see the new Earthlink commercial that bashed AOL by saying something like \"Earthlink connects you directly to the internet unlike some others who spoonfeed it to you\"? Anyway, they changed that awesome commercial (which made me smile). They removed the not so vague reference to AOL. Can someone say @^#^@$%@$%@ lawyer shitheads or something.
hehehe :)
Dumb people are so underappreciated. :-)
