Human Stupidity

I have an idol. His name is Albert Einstein, and he once said, "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I am not sure about the former." He was right in this statment in many many ways. Firstly, he was right about the universe as we are learning through new advances in theoretical physics, but what I want to talk a little about today is human stupidity. One can never tell whether he/she is stupid or not, because our minds decieve us into thinking that we are very intelligent even if we are not. This is why religious people think that they are right. It is not because they are right but because there minds are telling them that what they think is true IS and if anyone challenges that, they are the stupid ones. I am not saying that all religious people are stupid, because I have met very intelligent people that are religious. I just cannot understand why people with a vast knowledge of the physics of the universe can still think that there is some mythical diety watching over everyone. How does this tie into human stupidity? Well stupidity is only about what you have been taught throughout your life, and how you use that information, in addition to your own instincts. When I walk into a bathroom cubical and see writing all over the walls, I wanter what this person that wrote these things has been taught. I wonder what would make him think that the best thing for him to do at that second was to get his pen out of his pocket and write a volgar slurr on the wall while he is releasing his goods into the toilet. Stupidity is about what people think is the best for themselves, and turn out wrong in the end. Lets take a manager at my work. She wrote a sign to put in the bathroom downstairs(sorry for all of the bathroom references but suitably stupidity and bathrooms just go together). She wrote, "Dont flush this tolet." You could look at this sign in two ways. One being, "hmm quite the typo." The second being, "wow learn to spell." I would look at this sign and say, "yes this person is stupid." But when I really think about it, it all comes down to what this person was taught in school, when she learned to read and write. But if stupidity was about what you were taught, that would mean that her whole class cannot spell toilet. This lead me to realize that it is not just what you have been taught, but the efficiency of ones mind. Her brain perhaps was not able to take in the information in spelling the word as quick as other kids brains therefore now she can't spell. So really human stupidity has something to do with the human mind. Who would've thought. Now obviously if you talk to a neurologist I am sure he would tell you something similar and way more in depth. Though the mind fascinates me, I like physics. So dont ask me about technical stuff when it comes to biology because I just don't know, and this is why this blog is very very boring. 

In conclusion, there will always be someone smarter than you, and there will always be someone that is dumber than you. The dumb people will use physical strength to win a fight whereas the smart people will use there keen intellect and that is just what makes the world go around, in a metaphorical sense... Man that was a bad entry no real stucture.. oh well no one reads this shitty blog and these are just my random thoughts of the day so yeah.
