Robert Greene talks about people and stupidity
I have a question.
Do people of different groups handle lack of information differently?

Some examples
Gangs leaders often come up with stupid ideas leading them to crime.
USA senator MTG lacks information she should have, ends up saying really stupid things.

MTG is not stupid.
She plays to her selected audience. Back home in Georgia, there’s a lot of people who think that she’s doing a grand job, asking ‘the tough questions that others are afraid to ask’, and ‘making life difficult for the ‘fat cats’ in DC’, and stuff like that.
So, she cherry-picks from the information available, writes herself a little script around it, and play-acts it out for the benefit of the folks back home. All aimed at ensuring the continuation of her role as a Senator. Doesn’t matter what the facts are, it’s all about impressing the preferredaudience.
She has all the information. She just chooses to ignore a lot of it.

we suppose one could be stupid yet clever enough to largely cover for it

Stupidity is like beauty, to an extent:it depends on the eye of the beholder.
To vast numbers of people, MTG looks quite stupid.
But, she doesn’t care about ‘vast numbers of people’. All she cares about are people who vote Georgia senators into office.
And there’s enough of them who think of her as a ‘good ol’ gal’ who’s doing a great job in Washington of being an honest voice from Georgia, for Georgia.
So, she does and says anything that will get her name in the national media, and remind those Georgia folks that she’s doing the job.

Same method. The outrageousness distracts from the corruption.

Well, when you put it like that…
There are tens of millions of adult Americans who believe that Donald Trump paid their covid relief payments out of his own money, as though the cheques were personal cheques, because he wouldn’t agree to the measure unless his face and signature were on the cheques. This comes up again and again when people are asked what they like about Trump. Set aside the fact that the main thing the man is famous for is failure to pay his own bills… the idea that he would have access to the hundreds of billions of dollars paid out or that that is how government payments work betrays a childlike understanding of politics and the economy. If I met someone who thought Albanese was financing their disability pension they would be well and truly the dumbest person or perhaps just severely mentally ill, but these people make up a generous slice of the American electorate. Education is the key I suppose but Republicans always block efforts to improve education funding. This is another reason why I think that the US has a long road back to glory.

This is why the monarch’s head appears on so much of our own currency.
The king/queen turns out all those coins, and those fivers, in a shed down at the back of Windsor Castle, in their spare time, at their own expense, and generously donates them to us.

The thing that determine the wealth of modern industrialised nations: natural resources, human resources, energy and technology. Of these, human resources is the one you have most control over. So it seems self defeating to suppress education, even to just ignore the value of it. But there you go, millions of stupid people who seem to revel in it. The path to glory is the opposite way.

Somehow cheques, or checks as they call them there, are still a major deal in the US and A.

Look, they’re still using electoral procedures that are geared to the late 18th century.
Paper cheques is just another of those things that theydelight in, simply because they’re complicated, old-fashioned, inefficient, slow, unreliable, difficult, and expensive.

Gore Vidal described William F. Buckley, Jr. as a “sort of pro or crypto-Nazi”. Buckley responded, “Now listen you queer, stop calling me a crypto-Nazi or I’ll sock you in the goddamn face, and you’ll stay plastered.” Vidal later clarified
“shut the fup you bastard I’m not a closet fascist, I’m just someone who totally doesn’t believe in the use of violence as a means to achieve political ends’

Seems to end up most nations born from violence end up being what they fought against.

We have an official plan to phase them out by the end of 2029. I can noly imagine the uproar if they tried that in the US.

When we received our cheque with his signature I felt my values had been violated, it felt dirty and I didn’t want to touch it. mr kii deposited it into our account. I knew about the delay etc, so he could make a performance etc.
