Stupidity and human evolution

In my previous post I mentioned how evolution stopped because we are flooded with dumb people.That's not entirely true. Stupidity in evolution seems to be advantageous... There I said it. Based on studies we aren't gonna get any smarter... at least with our physiology as it is now. I know that at some point we might be able to download information in our brains but that won't make us any smarter... More knowledgeable maybe...

Now if you look around you, you probably figured out you are at least somewhat smarter than the rest of the population... (especially if you read this blog!). Let's go to the political side of why stupidity helps evolution. Let's assume that 80% of the population is stupid. And if you know the 80%-20% rule this is most likely true. And we all can agree (well not entirely) that we have Democracy right now (we don't). That means the many outweigh the few... Congratulations! We have many stupid people choosing other stupid people to govern us. Want some examples?

Worked out well right? Ask the Greeks to tell you about stupid politicians... I always thought Bush was dumb... Till I saw Papandreou. Nuff said...So there goes the political aspect. Can't get any better with all the stupid people around.

Now what about the social aspect? If you are poor I can understand... Many reasons that got you in the poverty level. Three of those are in the above pictures. Now if you are poor AND dumb you probably don't know how to use one of these:

See I already found the target group for these condoms. And use one, not two. And this conversation doesn't count as birth control:

Her: Bob do you have one of these round things?

Him: Condoms? No I don't... last time I used em though I couldn't swallow them... No idea how you don't get pregnant with those...

Her: So what do we do?

Him: Don't worry I will pull out when  am about to come!

Her: You are so smart!

And yes they probably look like these two:

You can guess the rest... In 10 years they will probably have 10 babies. Her vagina will look like a star gate in the end. And judging from their parents they are doomed. So we have 2 dumb people making 10 more. Of course they will have no proper education and no money to buy books and computers and our tax money will pay for their food and so on. Brilliant!

While on the other hand we have two smart people having 1-2 kids. 2 kids can go to college and have an education. They can also have responsible parents because they aren't so hard to handle compared to the previous 10. So the worse thing they can get is some daddy issues for the girls and maybe a womanizer son. And as luck and Murphy's law have it they 'll end up dead from some drunk driver or brain tumor. Ever heard any dumbass having a brain tumor? you need to have a brain first. So dumb people win again.

Not to mention how difficult it is to find some smart woman or man to marry. Being a man I know I 'll probably end up with a girl like this:

On the psychological aspect again smart people have it hard because for them the "ignorance is bliss" isn't working. Dumb people have no ambition, serious dreams and worries. So I doubt you will find any dumb crazy people. Most people with high IQ tend to go insane. And others have serious sickness... Stephen Hawking for example. So in a psychological aspect smart people lose again.

Finally, and this is just my opinion, with modern medicine we live a lot more than our ancestors. Making us naturally polygamous creatures (spending 10+ years with the same person while your social circle is 1000+ and dealing with his/her bullshit? I doubt it..) Imagine back in the day with transportation being scarce and population being small how many women you could have? Then here comes religion and moralists saying we are supposed to be monogamous. I respect if YOU decide that you wanna be monogamous, but when someone else butts in and tells me what to do then I start thinking why? 

Take gay marriage for example. They say marriage is sacred and at the same time they tell us that we can have up to 3 marriages... Huh? So to reach a conclusion, being monogamous and sad because someone tells you you will go to hell for me it's stupid. Evolutionary we ended up like this. At least this is the only advantage I can see. On the downside that means dumb people can procreate more... Well diversity is always a good thing for the genes... Let's hope some Professor X mutation will happen or even better Einstein/Stephen Hawking one. 

Happy birthday Stephen Hawking. And have a great weekend for the rest!

Stupid safety signs

I have a theory to why so many dumb people exist around me. It's those stupid safety laws and signs. What do I mean with this? Darwin explained what Natural Selection is. It's when evolution happens and a male and a female meet that have the best chances of survival. Meaning they are probably smarter than the rest or they are faster so they can avoid dangerous animals that hunt them down and so on. It's a great theory and it is now proved to be real. If you are religious and you start talking about intelligent design I will slap you in the face with some facts on another post.

So Darwin WAS right. But not anymore. With all these stupid laws and signs we have, natural selection isn't true anymore. Can someone explain to me why there are signs like:

Do you think I reached this age without me knowing that? I see the floor being wet so I can understand it will be slippery! If you actually walk and watch where you are going this sign isn't needed. Unless you check your facebook on your smartphone and you don't watch where you are going... Dumbass.

If you need a sign for that too then you must be an idiot. Do all of us a favor and disappear...

The next one I am sure everyone has seen at least once.

First off this looks like a tourist attraction! "Watch how great is the gap!". If you are smart enough to look down there I bet you can figure that there will be a gap between you and the train. How to avoid this difficult life hazard? Take one leg and put it inside the train... then the next one... and all these while you watch WHERE THE FUCK YOU ARE GOING!

Ok you are in an escalator... My first thought without looking at the sign would be to actually hold the handrail... They took the time to put it there... it must be useful! Now I have a kid with me... Hmm what should I do? A) Let it figure out what to do, B) Hold his hand, C) Leave it there and come back in an hour to pick him up... Next is Keep Feet Away.. ok that doesn't make sense... so lets read the next line "From Side Panel"! Aaaah this was a trick! I have to read both lines to unlock the secret meaning! "Keep feet from side Panel!" wow! Thank God you let me know. I was about to stick both my feet on that... No idea how you can actually do that but still. Ok the next one is tricky... "Face Forward"! I wonder why they added thaaaaaargh!! Aaah that's why because in the end you will fall down if you face backwards... Very smart... I bet you needed an IQ of 150 to figure this out... "No baby strollers" ... Someone actually tried that? I see no reason why I shouldn't use my wheelchair then... And finally don't ride barefoot... I bet when you went out today you didn't get your shoes like you do all the time... Snap now you have to use the stairs and not the escalator...

They should also add to this: "Don't stand with one leg, the head 45 degrees on the left, the one arm up and the hip slightly to the right on the escalator". Don't laugh someone is bound to do it one day!

Why? I wanna run. I am late. How am I going to explain to the boss I don't have, that because there was this sign I couldn't run? Even running is hazardous nowadays... We came to that...

Who doesn't check to see how shallow a pool/lake/beach is? Do you see that kid that the water level is in his waist? Does that give you any clue on how shallow the water is? Do you need a sign for that?

Please try to figure out why? Maybe because when there is a fire electricity is cut off? or maybe because the elevator shaft might be also on fire? Or the mechanism that keeps the elevator from dropping might also be on fire? I will let you think about it while I use the stairs.

No stupidity doesn't qualify as a handicap. Park elsewhere jackass.

 So my advice is replace all these with this sign:
