Does anyone think that VCs are not stupid?
Dave McClurePeople are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. Peopleโs heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true.

Donald TrumpI guess politicians can be excused for thinking the electorate is stupid because they keep winning reelection.

Which, I guess you don't.

Bertrand RussellWhen I was an adolescent, I was obsessed with having many commercial things, cars, clothes, stupid things. Now that I have all that, I understand that the superfluous things can turn to you into a very stupid idiot-type.

Now before friendship, it is merchandise.

Nobody knows, understands or can possibly explain why that preposterous creature does what he does. In fact there is no explanation - or better there is only one explanation: the person in question is stupid.
Carlo M. CipollaI've got two daughters who will have to make their way in this skinny-obsessed world, and it worries me, because I don't want them to be empty-headed, self-obsessed, emaciated clones; I'd rather they were independent, interesting, idealistic, kind, opinionated, original, funny โ a thousand things, before 'thin'. And frankly, I'd rather they didn't give a gust of stinking chihuahua flatulence whether the woman standing next to them has fleshier knees than they do. Let my girls be Hermiones, rather than Pansy Parkinsons. Let them never be Stupid Girls.
J. K. RowlingThere's more to life than being an actor in a Hollywood movie. I'm not going to adapt my life after that existence, where a lot of people do.
