Very few people are stupid..

They either have a Narrow scope of desires,  or a limited means of self-expression..

It's not that they're dumb,    they're them, and they're different, as they live in a different world than you do.

Edit: Also, most people fundamentally can not look at a situation from another's point of view. One of the most frustrating things is when you are trying to express something and the other person just doesn't get it at all. It's not that they aren't listening (well, not always) it is that they legit can't see why something would be any other way then which they perceive it to be.

I've met more "smart" people that I want to send that picture to, if we're being perfectly honest  :))

Additionally, when it comes to these things I always feel it's pointless to call people "stupid" or "smart" because those are the loosest definitions you could possible apply to someone. There are so many different types of intelligence...emotional, logical/mathematical, spatial, social, etc.

Usually when you don't get along with someone it's because they are lacking in one area where you are strong - heck I don't get a long with a lot of academically "intelligent" people.

I have a low tolerance for stupid people, but unless I think that I can help them in some way, I try to get away from them as quickly as possible and not waste any more of my time on them than I have to.

But, when trapped with a stupid person in an "authoritative" or supervisory capacity above me, it is excruciating. Demonstrating their errors can be satisfying, but not wasting time taunting them - nothing good can come from that.

Stupid people do not realize that they are stupid.
So basically you could be stupid, too.

Don't we all agree that texting while driving is a pretty stupid thing to do?

This bit is confusing for me.


Because he's using  Stupid,  as parallel for "No Good at"

The imprecise use of terminology,  makes the point unclear..


Overall, he's talking about how much competance it takes in a highly 'specific task' to know that one's no good (stupid) at such a task..  This is true


But than he blankets the 'generally stupid' under that thought process  ,   what is 'the generally stupid'.. and where would the cuttoff for that be..

There's no argument or clear stance here, because the line to be drawn is unclear and potentially impossible to be established..



I think as an actor comedian, he's tuned to pick something general /relatable, and make fun of it,   this causes him to run a great deal of misattribution errors within his psyche.

Since it has been his job to make Funny, and error prone claims.

Have you ever thought about how dumb the average person is, then realize that half the people are dumber than that?

George Carlin.

Though I do agree with tp on this one to a bit.  Most people that get called stupid or dumb, are simply uneducated in a particular subject matter at hand.  Though uneducated can be fixed, ignorance however, is much more difficult to remedy.
