1. the essence of stupidity can not only be produced by out-
points it can be just missing
data but that is another thing and that is the
guy who isn't
trained or
hatted but has
missed his
gradients. He does not know what a potato peeler is, he never
checked out on the thing. What it is, is omitted
technology.

basic cause of stupidity. To the stupid all things except the very simple ones are confused.
