tyndareos's review against another edition

The Laws are as follows (directly quoted from the book ):
Law #1: Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals
in circulation.
•
Law #2: The probability that a certain person be 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 to a group of
persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.
•
Law #4: 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 infallibly turns
out to be a costly mistake.
•
Law #5: A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person. A stupid person is more
dangerous than a bandit.
•
My review:
Well there is not much to it, the PDF consists of 56 pages of which 36 are irrelevant (empty pages, notes, quotes, references)
So there is only around 20 pages of content left, which is not even helpful.

The best 20 minute read, and while funny it is not funny at all and a decent enlightening thesis of the mechanics of idiocy. Very nice!

It's a short funny read. I mean we do know that there are stupid people holding power and how devastating that is for humanity as a whole. The book does put in perspective how stupid people are the most dangerous lot even compared to bandits. But I guess overall it's a okayish read.
