"Too little introspection ... means that technology and AI are the least of our problems." I agree. That is such a good (introspective) insight. Thank you Anand.
As a system tech, I once had to fully explain to a medical research scientist why her test mice were overheated in their cages - having all solid sides except for the wire front, with the room air going straight through from front to back while the cages were along the side walls. Then I told her the mice are delivered in unconditioned tracks. She was massively smarter than I, but had no context of experience for analyzing the situation. On the hand, though she started off ignorant, she decided not to be stupid. Most ignorant folk I have come across are intensely insecure and angrily defensive about it. They mostly choose to be stupid in the face of facts.
I like this video very much. I wish, however, that 3DOTS Studios would remaster the audio and video and rerelease it. It is difficult to hear the speaker because the music volume is either too high or simply a distraction.
I like this very much and would like to see you expond on the last part about stupidity and cruelty vs intelligence and kindness. If stupid doesn't know it's stupid how can I know if I'm stupid - I can't, but I can choose to be kind then my stupity won't hurt others. So I choose to be kind and accept that I am stupid in some ways. Just seems like the best that I can do. Thank you 🥀
Although the focus and content of this post are fascinating, it is your presentation style that has captured my attention. So smooth and flowing. Wow! You make a wonderful presenter!
It is important to understand the distinction between an erroneous assumption and a stupid mistake. Simply being wrong by no means necessarily involves an affront to sound reason. If a four-year-old child is taught that the first president of the United States was Charlton Heston, he or she will thereafter make a number of erroneous statements about that particular question. But this will not be because he or she has reasoned poorly. It will be simply because the child has relied on poor authority. Stupidity, of course, can eventually enter into the process if individuals, so unfortunately conditioned, persist in their mistaken opinions for the rest of their lives, despite the availability of mountains of evidence to the contrary.

Want to know the ultimate stupidity that has almost every human trapped. The sense of seperate "I" All the great masters laugh at that. The "cosmic joke" that the most intelligent of the most intelligent species thinks it's seperate. Wisdomless.
Don't agree on some points that you and the source makes. People aren't only one type or the other (Helpless*, Intelligent, Bandit or stupid) we ALL are capable of all of these traits (in a short time and on a consistent time frame). Sorry but this video provides nothing substantial. Still, you have presented well and come across as someone wanting to make good helpful content. Have a good day : ) * (incorrect evaluation)
Thank you for your comment. I can understand your point of view, and I agree that it is not as black & white as it appears to be. People are a mixed bag with all such traits. My point though is that we often exhibit one trait more than other three, and so it becomes our main characteristic. The key is to maximize on positives and working towards minimizing the other (negative) aspects.
MoonMan I guess you didn't notice the part of the video that shows a grid with the types of people in four quadrants, divided by horizontal and vertical axes. The point of such a grid is that any given person may land anywhere along either of the axes, and it also doesn't assume a given person always stays at that same spot. No one is claiming that every person fits always and only into the center of just one quadrant.
@@scotte4765 Still, from memory it was implied that a person IS for the most part one of those types. Sorry, I haven't re-watched the video. Also, after being alive for nearly 50 years, it is my conclusion that we are ultimately all dumb and stupid at the end of the day, even the so called intelligent people of the world.
@@moonman7777 In both a presentation like this and in the original article by Cipolla, I take the phrasing of "stupid people do this, intelligent people do that" as a simplified framing used to make the overall concepts clear. Given how common this kind of simplification is in presentations like this, I would not assume the author or presenter was trying to say everyone is always and only in one of those categories, unless they stated so outright.

I'm glad you agree... Thanks for stopping by.
Idiocracy was an eerily realistic movie...
Additionally, stupid people often have a tremendous amount of self confidence.

Unfortunately, it's too late for that. Nonetheless, thanks for the feedback. 🙏
Wow, a perfect video for the entirety of America!!

Thank you, @Westhaven. I am glad you liked it.🙏
Idiocracy was prophetic.
Yes indeed!
Don't mistake as incompetence what is actually malicious intent .
I feel I am treated stupididly with the up and down stairs scene change. 😂
How so? 🤔
Yes, I saw that movie...sad commentary on our world. It was a bit over the top, but definetly a lot of people who are stupid.
💯💯💯
How many times did you run down the same set of steps?
Actually, they are not the same set :) thanks for asking though 😃
Good stuff, also it's nice with less ads.
Thank you, Robin. And I'm sorry about the ads. Unfortunately, I don't have any control over them.
What ads? I never get ads. Then again, I’m not stupid enough to believe everything should be free.

Good point.
Regardless, those who cannot define woman are stupid.

The sense of seperate "I"
All the great masters laugh at that. The "cosmic joke" that the most intelligent of the most intelligent species thinks it's seperate. Wisdomless.
Sense of separate "I" is indeed one of the indicators.
great video. but adding the sound track was non-introspective & stupid.

Everything this gentleman said is true. He simply laid out the basic facts and traits as succinctly as he could in the time he alloted himself.
