Most stupid person in the world
Take a moment to think of how many times you contain called someone dumb or a fool. That's probably because what you saw them do or heard from him made zero sense. Although you might’ve been right, to define who is the stupidest person in the world (or could be eligible to claim that title), you must know what stupidity really means.
In the Cambridge dictionary, stupidity is described as being silly or unwise. In other words, a stupid person is someone whose behavior is funny and unreasonable or someone whose acts are out of a lack of intelligence. The formal word to define such a person is "imbecile," which is the antonym of intelligent.
In terms of IQ Score, most mid-level intelligent people score between 85 and 115. Those who fall under 70 on IQ tests are considered to be cognitively impaired. And although we can't spring to conclusions to determine someone's sheer stupidity just from a few foolish moments, it doesn't mean we can't at least eye-roll on repeat.
So when someone on Reddit asked a seemingly basic question, “Who was the dumbest person you met?” the answers started flowing, with each one overshadowing the previous one. Thus, we won't res
In 1976, Professor Cipolla published a 60-page essay describing the fundamental laws of a force he perceived as the greatest existential threat to humanity: stupidity.
He divides humanity into four main categories: Intelligent, Bandit, Helpless, Stupid. All are defined on the basis of a win/lose concept, slightly echoing the prisoner’s dilemma. The question is: what category are you in?
Law 1: Everyone always and inevitably underestimates the number of stupid people in circulation
No matter how many idiots you suspect you are surrounded by, you are invariably underestimating the total. This problem is compounded by the biased assumption that some people are intelligent because of superficial factors such as their job, education, or other characteristics that we believe dictate out stupidity.
For example, Nabilla is excluded because she is a multimillionaire. And yet… This brings us to the 2nd law:
Law 2: The probability that a person is stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
Cipolla postulates that stupidity is a variable that remains constant in all populations. Every category you can imagine – gender, ethnicity, nationality, education, income
If there were ever a contest to see who is the dumbest person to have succeeded, Timothy Dexter would win it hands down. You won’t browse more than a footnote in most history books about him. But he was the luckiest person who ever lived. Did one dumb thing after another. And yet prospered.
Dexter yearned for his peers’ respect. And did some crazy things because of it.
Crazy luck #1:
In 1775, the 13 American colonies went to war with the UK. To fund the war, American Congress started printing “Continental Currency.” But they overprinted it. To the tune of $241 million! The currency flooded the market and became all but worthless. No one would accept it. When the war veterans started coming back, American colonies paid them in the worthless Continental currency. And the veterans found themselves destitute.
To help the veterans out, leaders like John Hancock asked people to start buying the currency. And they themselves bought a little bit too. But almost no one else did. No one else except our Dexter.
Timothy Dexter not only spent all his money buying the Continental currency, but spent his wife’s fortune too. Why? Because a grea
Who is/was the most stupid person ever born?
John Martin, Hong Kong China
- How do you measure stupidity? If stupidity is inversely proportional to intelligence then there are many people that have been born or have become 'totally stupid' (i.e. those in a persistent vegetative state). If, however, you are expecting answers like 'George W Bush' then you are using an arbitrary definition of stupidity that may attract some funny responses but is of no objective meaning.
Max Wurr, Stanmore United Kingdom
- A lot of people will probably put George W as the answer to this question, but I think he's misunderestimated.
Tim Campbell, Wigan UK
- Well, obviously, a mentally disabled person with no cognitive ability whatsoever.
Helena, Hastings UK
- I would imagine that we're all stupid when we're born.
John, Manchester, UK
- I disagree with the definitions of stupid so far. To count as the most 2stupid2 person is surely to be the person who is the most intelligent but yet nevertheless makes erroneous decisions. For example, the infamous gentleman who did not sign The Beatles & such...
Paul, Muscat, Oman
