The author starts off by being blatantly offensive to the point where I wondered if he was trolling.
Then, as if to excuse himself with a "ahhh! got you all!" he drops this gem halfway down the article:
> "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."
Thanks, if we're going to go around redefining the accepted and colloquial definition of "stupid", it would seem relevant to put this near the top of your treatise.
This would also seem to contradict the author's previous assertion that stupidity is genetic and largely unrelated to nurture - unless the author seriously believes that personality traits (i.e., the tendency to go for lose-lose arrangements) are genetic.
Plausible claim, but pointless without real research, or at the very very least some semblance of qualification for the author to make such a wild assertion.
I couldn't really make it too far beyond that without being profoundly disturbed by the author's self-important vigorous mental masturbation.
