That puts me in mind of Bertrand Russell and Edith Sitwell.

How so?
Bertrand Russell:
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt
Edith Sitwell: I am patient with stupidity but not with those who are proud of it
@anglophone * [en.m.wikipedia.org]
These are Cipolla's five fundamental laws of stupidity:
- Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
- The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
- A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.
- Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places and under any circumstances to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.
- A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.
Corollary: a stupid person is more dangerous than a pillager.
I'm not sure where that puts Sitwell?
@FrayedBear Sitwell would be tolerating (or not!) the corollaries to those laws.
