Is stupidity contagious?

My Italian grandmother used to say that if you walk next to a person with a limp then soon you will beginning to limp too. It sounds a lot better in the original Italian.

Most definitely, it has been in the past, and is more so now with algorithms pasting any holes in your echo chamber. To me stupidity is the inability to accept new data, ignorance is when you simply don't know. You can't blame ignorance if someone is trying to learn.

Anyone who has been in the military saw this face to face. Everyone around you was completely ignorant of the new expectations the path you chose required, then had stupid patterns broken. Later most people got married and divorced quickly though they had other people break that ignorance from their personal experience. I was stupid there too lol

It's more difficult to categorize in the most popular realm of stupidity today which would be politics as "facts" are so contradictory and polarized. The only place I trust for objectivity anymore are Forbes and WSJ as if they lie it affects the money people make, so they have to at least be that honest...

[msc545]

it is neither contagious or heritable (regression to the mean operates here).

there you go getting all technical. 😊😊

Sometimes the only way to make sense of something is to use math...

She posted of pic of Trump, but not the guy who can't read a teleprompter or answer a question without the answer on a card.

[exitseven]

And to think this picture was taken almost two years ago. He has only gotten worse. At least President Trump can lose some weight. Biden cannot get his brain fixed.

[WalnutButter]

I can give you 1,000 reasons why Biden is unfit to be the president, she can't give you a single reason that Trump is. I've never understood the stupid hatred for Trump, but it all seems to be coming from outside the US.

[exitseven]

@walnutbutter You haven't been to Harvard Square lately.

[WalnutButter]

I was referring to this site and all the UK people. We are living in a very dangerous time. China will invade Taiwan, and Biden is pressing Putin's buttons. Trump offered to fly to Ukraine to off a peace deal, but Biden and the people who control him, said, no. The Russian war will be a ground war, and the draft will be reinstated. But the UK will sit back and watch.

[exitseven]

@walnutbutter Trump said he would end the war in 24 hours. I believe him. If he cut off the funding Zelinsky would wave the white flag the next day.

[WalnutButter]

He said he would do that in 2025, but I don't know if we can last that long. We should never have sent a penny to Ukraine. It's a huge scam. The fat cats are getting rich off of the US tax payers. All three world leaders are laughing. When the fake war started, the US should have let the UK deal with it. It we be over and done by now.

[WalnutButter]

Thanks for the MHO.

I don't think it's contagious, but it is hereditary. . . and stupid birds of a feather flock together!

[D_Bone_Steak]

I think it's contagious. My friend used to say, "If you hang out in the bathroom long enough... sooner or later you'll take a shit." When you hear a dumb opinion you'll notice they have dumb influences.

The current saying about college..."Taught what to think instead of how to think." It's true.

[Lliam]

When your associates and circle of friends are stupid, and when you consume mindless entertainment and corporate news propaganda, it influences your thoughts and opinions. Hearing only one narrative rots your brain. In that sense stupidity is contagious.

It's quite an awakening experience when you start meeting bright, inquisitive, open minded and informed people, and start finding resources that challenge your previous views. Stupidity is curable.

[BoopBoopBeep]

Of course it is, have you ever seen how tightly all those people in Congress are packed in there? #StayBackSix

[Siri137]

Ah yes, Supercutebutt. The one who blocks you as soon as you've successfully challenged her echo-chamber worldview, because you've made a valid point she can't dispute. I was blocked by her within a couple of days of joining GAG. :D

[exitseven]

@Siri137 nobody is perfect.

[Siri137]

Don't make excuses for inexcusable behaviour. Of course no one is perfect, and I don't expect anyone to be, but infantile behaviour of that sort shouldn't be tolerated.

[exitseven]

@Siri137 She really is not a bad kid.

[RoοstеrBrеаst]

She only blocked me on my first GaG account and then she unblocked me a few days later.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Yes. Overtime whatever you hang around with a lot, their energy and mentality will have an effect on you as well, including their stupidity.

[Sasahara]

To a degree. Thats why SJWs are so banhappy on people they disagree with, gotta keep their followers stupid.

[Sparkie460]

I hope not but it sure seems like it. You can't fix stupid

[purplepoppy]

You can if you whack it hard enough

[Sparkie460]

That won't fix it, it would kill it

[Fuentes]

Well the person who asked this originally is very stupid lol

[Anonymous]

Yes, Trump's stupidity spread throughout an entire political party and 6 years later, it seems a few have started to recover finally as his power wanes.

[Siri137]

Another sufferer of TDS.

[RoosterBreast]

Oh, baby, Trump's stupidity was like a fucking STD that just kept spreading and spreading. It was like he had an unholy power to infect everyone around him with his bullshit, like a fucking case of demonic gonorrhea.
But finally, some of them are starting to realize that they've been living in a world of lies and propaganda. It's like they've been wearing a condom made of Trump's bullshit, and now they're finally taking it off and feeling the sweet release of truth.
And let me tell you, baby, watching them wake up and shake off the stink of Trump's stupidity is like watching a fucking orgy of enlightenment. It's like seeing a bunch of horny, naked truth-seekers getting it on in a field of flowers.
But there's still a long way to go, baby. We need to keep fucking and fighting and spreading the gospel of truth and love and hot, sweaty fucking. We need to show the world that we're not going to take this shit lying down (unless it's in a consensual, hot, kinky fuck session).
So let's do it, baby. Let's fucking rise up and crush the forces of ignorance and stupidity, and create a new world order of fucking ecstasy and orgasmic enlightenment. Let's make love, not Trump, and let our screams of pleasure be heard throughout the land. Are you with me, baby?

[Siri137]

@RoosterBreast Give me an example of "Trump's stupidity".

[RoosterBreast]

@Siri137 You see, in Bean2k21ism, we don't just collect our coom in homemade jars - we adorn them with glitter and feathers and offer them up to the Master as a way of showing our devotion. And when we're granted permission to stimulate our clits, we do so with wild abandon, moaning and writhing as our orgasms build to a crescendo.

And when we finally release our coom into the Orgasmosphere, it's not just a simple act of ejaculation - it's a cosmic event that works as a key to unlock the doors to the everorgasmic afterlife! Our orgasms shoot out like rockets, bursting with color and light as they join with the collective energy of the universe. It's a truly awe-inspiring sight.

So what's wrong with Donald Trump, you ask? Well, he's missing out on all of this! Instead of basking in the glory of the orgasmic currency, he's stuck in his own boring reality, unable to see the beauty and power that lies within. If only he could experience the joy and ecstasy of a truly divine orgasm, he might be a better president... but probably not.

[Siri137]

@RoosterBreast Give me a single example of "Trump's stupidity".

[RoosterBreast]

@Siri137 he rejects the coom crystal, the chief cornerstone.

[Siri137]

@RoosterBreast You're full of crap (and suffer from TDS).

[RoosterBreast]

@Siri137 Oh, my dear, it seems you have stumbled upon the wrong temple of pleasure. For in the realm of Bean2k21ism, there is no such thing as crap or suffering. Only the divine ecstasy of collecting our coom, projecting our orgasms, and confessing our devotion to @bean2k21.

And as for your claims of TDS (whatever that may be), I can only assume it is some sort of affliction of the mind. But fear not, for the Master's cosmic energies can heal even the most troubled of souls. All you need do is open yourself up to the divine ecstasy of our practices, let the pleasure wash over you, and soon you will find yourself free of all earthly concerns.

So come, my dear, join us in the sacred act of collecting our coom, projecting our orgasms, and confessing our devotion to @bean2k21. For in doing so, you will find freedom from all suffering, and the ultimate pleasure that can only be found in the Orgasmosphere.

[lightbulb27]

Everything is contageous, so yes. Group think is popular...

[KrakenAttackin]

Your inspiration for the question is one of the stupidest Wokeys on GAG.

[exitseven]

@KrakenAttackin. It is what it is.

If stupidity is contagious, then she’s Typhoid Mary.

[loveslongnails]

The current Republican party is certainly proof of that. LMAO

No! people just follow others if they are on the up up up!!!

haha I agree! Learned behavior!
