Law 1: Everyone always and inevitably underestimates the number of stupid people in circulation

Law 2: The probability that a person is stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.

Law 3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or group of people when he or she does not benefit and may even suffer losses.

Law 4: Non-stupid people always underestimate the destructive power of stupid individuals.

Law 5: A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

    What if I estimate the number of stupid people in circulation to 10 trillion?

    OOOOF. This is a gooder. Cuz like, technically being terrible at math is an independent characteristic, meaning that I can't categorize you as stupid, thus adhering to the 4th law.

    Congratulations. You solved stupidity.

    I feel like it's worth noting that anyone, including you, can be a stupid person, and acknowledging that fact does not exempt you from potentially being a stupid person
