‘STUPIDITY' by Albert Nerenberg features interviews with various people who engage in critical thinking. If you don't know what critical thinking is, you should not be on my website.

Some of the subjects covered in this 2003 documentary are the effects of television and mass media on the intellect, the dumbing-down of the masses, the popularity of Steve-O and Jackass, the role of religion in willful stupidity, and the evolution of such concepts as 'idiot' and 'moron'.

This is the song that's played during the closing credits of the documentary. Quote from the lyrics:

If you want a place in the history books then do something dumb before you die.

Why Stupid People Think They're Smart

The 5 Basic Laws Of Human Stupidity

1. Always and inevitably, each of us underestimates the number of stupid individuals in the world

2. The probability that a certain person is stupid is independent of any other characteristic of the same person

3. A stupid person is one who causes harm to another person or group without at the same time obtaining a benefit for himself or even damaging himself

4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the harmful potential of stupid people

5. The stupid person is the most dangerous person that exists

A very interesting study conducted at the Eötvös Loránd University gives us other clues to gain self-consciousness in determining the 3 causes of human stupidity:

1. Ignorance or overconfidence. It would be the highest degree of stupidity and appears in people who take risks of any kind, although they lack the skills or knowledge necessary to face them.

2. Lack of control. It’s a medium degree of stupidity that corresponds to impulsive people, who lack self-control and act letting themselves be carried away by the first impulse.

3. Distraction. It would be the slightest degree of stupidity, which manifests itself in those who fail to achieve something because they don’t pay attention or don’t allocate sufficient resources, struggling uselessly.

Project Camelot interviews Jim Humble, The Man Behind Miracle Mineral Supplement

Project Camelot’s Synopsis:

Aerospace engineer Jim Humble's third career started accidentally while on a gold prospecting trip in the jungle of Venezuela. There, using stabilized oxygen, he improvised an effective remedy for his colleagues who were stricken with malaria. As curious as he had always been in his life, he returned to his native US and wondered why the cure had worked so well.

The answers to his own questions led him to the development of a more powerful form of oxygen therapy, chlorine dioxide, which he called Miracle Mineral Supplement. With a mission to help the human race with whatever he did, Jim made it widely available in the form of sodium chlorite, which the user 'activated' by adding lemon juice or vinegar. Medical teams conducted many research trials in Africa, where it was found that MMS would frequently relieve the symptoms of malaria in as little as four hours.

In this 75 minute interview, Jim talks with Project Camelot's Bill Ryan about his life and work. Charming, engaging and passionate, Jim reveals his most interesting background in aerospace and mining engineering – careers few users of MMS will be aware of – and then goes into detail about how MMS works, his experience with successfully treating not only malaria but hepatitis, cancer and AIDS, and his personal spiritual and philosophical perspective on everything he does.
