Stupid People Complaining

More From Francois De La Rochefoucauld

For white men, to live is to own, or to try to own more, or to die trying to own more. their appetites are astonishing! they own wardrobes, slaves, carriages, houses, warehouses, and ships. they own ports, cities, plantations, valleys, mountains, chains of islands. they own this world, its jungles, its skies, and its seas. yet they complain that dejima is a prison. they complain they are not free.

People were paid lots of money to make stupid decisions, people in big banks, and when people are paid to be stupid they'll be stupid. the question was, did they know they were being stupid or were they just stupid? i think you need to take it on a case by case basis. there was some sinister activity, but i think by and by it was people being incentivised to do the wrong thing.
Stupid Thinking People
Genius is its own reward; for the best that one is, one must necessarily be for oneself. . . . further, genius consists in the working of the free intellect., and as a consequence the productions of genius serve no useful purpose. the work of genius may be music, philosophy, painting, or poetry; it is nothing for use or profit. to be useless and unprofitable is one of the characteristics of genius; it is their patent of nobility.

Learn all you can, don't be lazy. nothing's worse than being stupid. being broke is bad, but being stupid is what's really bad. and what's really really bad is being broke and stupid. nothing's much worse than that. unless you're sick. sick, broke and stupid, that’s about as far as you can fall unless you're ugly. surely that would be the ultimate; ugly, sick, broke and stupid.

Having a hummer is stupid. it's stupid to waste that much gas. it's stupid to waste that much money on gas. it's stupid to parade your insecurities on public roads. hummers are stupid-looking.
Stupid Insecurity Waste
Can you sacrifice a few? when those few are the best? deny the best its right to the top--and you have no best left. what are your masses but millions of dull, shriveled, stagnant souls that have no thoughts of their own, no dreams of their own, no will of their own, who eat and sleep and chew helplessly the words others put into their brains? and for those you would sacrifice the few who know life, who are life? i loathe [andrei] your ideals because i know no worse injustice than the giving of the undeserved. because men are not equal in ability and one can't trust them as if they were.
