⚠️Warning⚠️
I will start with a very serious☠️ warning.
The top section of this page (until next warning) is meant to be informational and still okay for youth.
But the whole page is only for adults🔞.
I’d say of at least 21 age. But I’m sure I wouldn’t want to read all this (or understand) even being 30.
Thus I think age is not the only guide, additionally it is a matter of intelligence, and being resilient to bad news.
One important aspect is that this page (and some chapters here) can be (very) depressing😭. This is not my goal.
To address this, I can only recommend: either skipping them or reading at your best mood, not too much at once, not opening links, and leaving whenever you feel uncomfortable.
I added a color circle, in main chapters titles (as last emoji), to show how dangerous its topics are, i.e. shocking or depressing, etc.
Meaning of circle colors:
– 🔵 is okay for all, even youth
– 🟢 is normal, but maybe unpleasant
– 🟡 is moderately bad and unpleasant
– 🟠 is bad, tragic, can be depressing
Red, these to avoid:
– 🔴 is seriously worst, most dangerous, depressing, tragic.
– ☠️ is added additionally to above red, to signify even more.
– 🛑 is added to links – not safe for life (NSFL) – that can/will scar you for life when seen.
A 🚧 mark in a chapter name, means it is work in progress.
I also link to my blog posts info, to read first. Especially to signify that this is just my point of view (as an INTJ) and I am also just human. I could: be wrong (at some points), not know something yet, fall for some lies or manipulations, oversimplify or overanalyse issues, be overconfident, etc.
I’d also recommend leaving this page if you are not tolerant of other people’s views, or are too attached to own.
ℹ️General info🔵
⏱️Overview
On this page I describe the global human stupidity. I focus mainly on commercial stupidity🤑, causing the destruction on Earth (by wars, pollution, garbage), exploitation, addicting, stupifying and enslaving of people and everything else done for gigantic profits (fake money or power). Additionally I will criticize and point out main faults of current big social systems of control (governments, economies, banks, religions, etc.).
In chapter 📃List🔴, I gathered links to crimes, disasters and worst human mistakes, grouping main areas of stupidity reaching global scale, some since ancient times. With my comments on those. Ending by some lesser, but still notaby (for me) stupid topics.
⚠️Warning: page is still work in progress 🚧
This page isn’t a wikipedia article, well edited by many and backed by quotes, etc. Which is why I often link to it. Since it’s my page, I also add my personal comments and ideas here.
🔤Alternative titles
Since the page title itself is short and bold, here are a few alternatives:
- 🤪Human Stupidity and what to do with it? – a commentary by CryHam
- ⚖️Human Stupidity versus intelligence, which one is winning?
- 🤔Humanity as viewed by an INTJ (CryHam’s personality type)
- 👥The differences between people and why are we so stupid? – by CryHam
- 🌎What’s wrong with the world? – CryHam’s view of the world and its issues
- 🖼️The big picture of the world – a written illustration by CryHam
- 😲”Wake up call” for humanity, by CryHam
- 🧁🧱”Cake up wall” from CryHam – if you prefer to switch first letters like I do.
I’m adding my nickname to almost all, to signify that it’s just my point of view. I am answering any above questions in later chapter(s).
❓Why
I need to make this very clear, that the reasons for “why I wrote this page?” are:
- to motivate people to get smarter, and learn📚, usually by self education
- to seek truths, among all those lies, manipulation and misinformation spread both commercially (on global scale) and by individuals
- to convince (anyone open minded) about the scale⚖️ and significance of human stupidity🌎
- to share truth* about few, main, global, questionable topics – in end chapter: Summary
*By truth I mean my version of truth: my understanding and knowledge which I have gathered and discovered so far. My aim is to get to the whole truth and understand it. But it’s impossible for just one human.
✏️My motivators
This isn’t an important section. Just to answer: who (and by doing what) inspired or motivated me to write this page.
- Authors of the few most important documentaries and books (in own chapter), by sharing needed knowledge.
- Mr Money Mustache, by writing his blog (best posts), and the person who gave me the link.
Another I found recently: Discomfort Academy - Everyone who contributed to Freedom (for me it was firstly by FOSS), thus making me realize it as my most important value.
- My family for providing me. But also being always religious (negative example), and while rather tolerant,
yet still wanting me to be religious after being an atheist for 20 years (by intelligent choice). - My dad and uncle, both divorced, for a great motivation (by negative example) to not have: children, marriage, unneeded relationships, etc. Also to learn and practice cleaning (which they almost never did).
- Myself, for taking the time to: learn, read wikipedia, and to finalize this page.
Well still, it took me 8 years to first make Stunt Rally game before, and countless years spent/wasted on entertainment. - To some degree: every barking dog(‘s owner, especially if left shit on sidewalk), smoking or drunk person nearby, too loud vehicle’s driver passing, smartphone addict, everyone having (or being on) a loud party, or doing drugs, gambling, every millionaire (especially popular), religious person, etc.
I also had my favourite motivational songs🎵, that inspired me.
But I moved this chapter after movies, since some have unplesant topics.
👤Personalities
It is safe to say that eveyone is different. There are at least 2 models that determine and group human personalities into not that many types.
🔠MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator)
A popular classification of human types into 16 personalities is MBTI (info here and on wikipedia).
There is a website here with a free test that determines your type. I found it great and informational. Knowing your type and reading more on internet, also can help in areas to improve and what to expect of yourself and others (e.g. for INTJ).
I recomend finding out your type and learning more about yourself and also what your type can improve.
I was surprised how well the descriptions fit my type. After all even if it’s rare (like 2%) with billion
A more informational, but still quick video: types from weakest to most powerful, playlist with all here.
From more funny stuff, there are lots of videos of all 16 types in various situations e.g.:
▶️at the beach, ruling the world, in solitary confinement, buried alive, decide who lives, etc. playlist with all here.
✳️Enneagram
Another popular classification is the Enneagram of Personality. It has 9 personalities in a figure with line connections. On wikipedia there is a table showing for each type its: characteristic role, ego fixation, holy idea, trap, basic fear, basic desire, temptation, passion and two transitions (connections) to other types when: in Stress (Disintegration) or in Security (Integration). Thus it is more complex but also more informational and useful. The 9 personalities are in 3 groups (Centers): Instinctive (top), Feeling (right) and Thinking (left).
On its own page: how enneagram system works there is much more information.
There is a website with free test here and more info too.
🔍Who am I, my personality
This is to answer any questions of who am I or who wrote this page and also continuing why.
My Enneagram type is 5: Investigator.
My MBTI personality type is INTJ-A, more about INTJ type (Architect) here. That description almost fully fits my character type. So to sum up shortly, I’m the type who prefers being alone, is Introverted, uses both iNtuition and analitical Thinking with Judging.
INTJ type is the one who wants to understand everything and gather knowledge.
Quick funny video with stuff INTJs say. Longer video about INTJ type traits.
51 INTJ Memes, 101 INTJ Quotes About Life, 11 Reasons Why INTJs Are Considered Weird, etc.
It was my goal to get a model of the world, understand how it works, and reasons of why it is and continues to be so (stupid). While others drank alcohol, partied, had sex, got married, had kids to raise, built a house, pursued career, or in my words: joined the rat race, etc. I did what I like and enjoyed most, doing my projects (hence so many), not falling into most of the world’s addictions (I wrote that page earlier) and learning about the world.
I am 43 when writing this page. I think I now finally gathered enough to get it all (to see the big picture) and I can write this to share my view and advices.
My IQ is 126 (or so). I am a Software Engineer. I enjoy programming 3D games, applications, microcontrollers, etc. It started with my 1st PC, I got it when I was 10. Already in elementary school I saw that there aren’t that many intelligent people, maybe 3 of 30. In technical high school and then college, it became also clearly obvious that women are rare there, like 10 in 150 students. At first I generally didn’t care much about the world and others. I already noticed that majority is stupid in first/elementary school. I kept doing my projects and so living in my world instead of the failed outside one so full and driven by stupidity.
⏳Intelligence statistics
📊Statistics
On this website we can see statistics and occurrence percentages of the 16 personalities in general population.
It was a small group tested for statistics, we can’t really test all people.
Those MBTI types which have NT (2 middle letters) are known as intellectuals, they are introspective, logical, abstract, theoretical, technically adept and on a constant quest for knowledge.
Under “NT Population Statistics” there is a total of 10.4%. The most intelligent (IQ) NT types being: INTP then INTJ. Ranked here.
INTJ is least popular among women, just 0.5% of tested.
Well then only 10% of people are intelligent.
The rest just lives according to Sensing (73%) or Feeling (60%). Types with SF (2 middle letters) are most common:
about 43% of all (56% women, 30% men). ISFJ is most popular.
Next 61% of women prefer Feeling compared to 31% of men.
🔳Intelligence Quotient (IQ)
A popular (but with issues) measurement of intelligence is the IQ. It is over century old and has a standardized test for getting IQ value. By definition average population’s IQ is 100. There were few testing methods and also doubts about IQ.
IQ Curve distribution
Professions (occupations, jobs) average IQ:
image – Modern IQ ranges for various occupations, table – Average IQ by Profession, list – All Occupations Average IQ List
Video: Average IQ by Country in 2025 (Real Data)
Average IQ by Country | Global IQ Rankings List
There is also Emotional intelligence (EQ) i.e. abilities around emotions (our and others) like undestanding, managing, etc.
🎙️Popularity vs intelligence
There was also a graph (I remember it but couldn’t find it now) with intelligence on one axis and popularity on other, with various professions as dots. E.g. scientists, physicists, mathematicians, etc. were most intelligent but least popular. On the other hand there were singers, actors, etc. who were most popular but least intelligent.
Here are a few informational (and pretty cool) graphs or lists with percentages %, ranking and sorting all 16 personalities by some feature.

🤝Helpful
Helpful is another factor I’d add to each personality and each human. Determining how helpful to others someone is. I may be somewhat included directly in few personalities, but I like it more as a separate thing.
🤪Stupidity
🗨️Quotes
I’ll start with my favorite quotes:
“Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.”
“Three great forces rule the world: stupidity, fear and greed.”
“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”
more quotes on stupidity by Albert Einstein.
📗Effect of stupidity
There are 5 laws of stupidity written by Cipolla (from 1976 book: “Basic Laws of Human Stupidity”):
Also written with some more info here.
- Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
- The probability that a certain person be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
- 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. - Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places and under any circumstances to deal and/or associate with stupid people infallibly turns out to be a costly mistake.
- A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person. A stupid person is more dangerous than a bandit.
Thus it is important to understand the risks and scale caused by stupidity. We can all behave stupidly, if we don’t check our actions or measure results. It’s best to develop a critical thinking. So since (in point 5) we know stupid people are worse than bandits and bandits go to prison, why isn’t being stupid a felony, can people be in prison because of being stupid? Well only after proving a commited crime. Which IMO is costly, needs profits, makes many jobs, and possibly doesn’t get rid of stupidity.
Same topic also there but with additional chapter, determining the 3 causes of human stupidity:
- Ignorance or overconfidence.
E.g. ignoring others being stupid, ignoring some facts, not researching, being too confident, etc. - Lack of control.
E.g. in impulsive people, who let themselves be carried away.
Also present in those who gamble too much in life or put value in: luck, hope, faith or any other illogical ways. - Distraction.
Those who don’t pay attention or not enough. Surely can be fueled by so many addictions (any, not only commercial).
🪟Benefits
There is also a benefits graph / matrix: image here or another here.
It groups (and names) people into types, depending on 2 factors: how they benefit + (or cause loss –) to themselves👤 and others👥.
I show it in table:
| Human type | Benefit to self👤 | Benefit to others👥 |
| Intelligent 🤓🧐🕵️🧑🏫🧑🔬 | + | + |
| Helpless 🤗🧑⚕️🧑🏿🚒 | – | + |
| Ineffectual 😐😶🌫️ | none | none |
| Bandits 🤑🔫 | + | – |
| Stupid 🤪😡 | – | – |
So clearly only intelligent people benefit to self and others, yet there is very little of them. Both intelligent and helpless people help others, so e.g. non-profit jobs, volunteers, etc. Awesome, noticable group but still rather little. Two last cause losses to others. Bandits do it for their benefit (sometimes just temporary and they lose money on fines or time in prison, but in less evolved countries some can spend whole life so). But stupid people cause losses to self and others. And yet the majority of people are here (I’d say about that 90%).
🧬Genetics
I once saw an hour long video, a first lecture to genetics subject on college I think. I can’t find it anymore.
It was quite enlighting. It explained the strongest force shaping peoples traits being genetics. If anything was different we wouldn’t survive. So e.g. total intelligence wasn’t required, that only 10% seems enough. Then 1% psychopats doesn’t kill population and it’s not 0%. Looks like nature isn’t an ideallistic and precise thing then. It’s more important to just procreate in numbers, rather than being intelligent in choices. Well it’s easy to see this in animals, especially insects etc. which multiply in big numbers at once.
🐛Purpose of life🟡
There is already a chapter with more info in my religions page.
I’ll shorten it up here.
The answer to question: why do people live? Is actually shockingly simple: to sustain our species. It’s universal for all species and given by nature to continue life. Any other reason to live is just people’s imagination. But in case of religions the purpose is given by invented lies🤥👼👿.
So I’ll end with quoting Bianca, from Fired Up (2009): “Well I’m here now, let’s just make the best of it.”
👁️My view
Perspective
I remember once in high school math class we were learning about triangles similarity criteria. Later I said something quite funny: all triangles are similar. It was just a matter or perspective.
It’s a matter of perspective and how you define stupidity.
So let me get to the point already: All people are stupid.
We are born infinitely stupid, or in other words with zero intelligence.
It’s first up to our parents to teach us basics (how much knowledge depends on them). Then they usually leave teaching to schools and other public or private intitutions (manipulated by governments and/or driven by profits). Some people don’t attend college or can’t afford it. Lastly it’s up to us to continue learning by our own. And I firmly say: we should never stop learnning. It’s the only way to decrease stupidity.
Obviously all people make mistakes, but if we don’t repeat them and learn from them, mistakes become the cost of learning.
As for perspective if we defined being stupid as making at least one mistake in life, no doubt everyone has, and already plenty. If we defined stupidity as having at least one area of knowledge (or profession) not yet learned (on a basic level), still everyone qualifies.
Once we realize we are stupid, it’s not about if or how much, but: what can we do about it.
So I think there are 2 answers.
First, for each person the way is to: learn, seek truth, focus, not get addicted, improve our skills and knowledge. All to fight stupidity and decrease it.
Companies
Second is an answer for companies: make money of that stupidity, so keep it, and use it to generate profits.
Well, it’s what bandits and stupid people do. I do not see companies as being helpful at all. After all they don’t teach anything, just sell their products or services and addict people. Of course they are rare exceptions and non-profit organizations.
Clearly companies don’t tell how they do their business, it’s their secret. I.e. we did this, now pay us, we won’t tell how. Patents forbid others doing something same way, without paying.
Being monopolistic is profitable as they can dictate higher prices or basically do whatever for more profit. If they shared any of their secrets then some other company could try and do the same. This would be of course good for people and humanity. Companies should compete and be of similar size. If one gets too big it can rule and go crazy, yet it’s so often the case and its goal.
This is exactly the opposite of how it should be. And why I like Free Software (FOSS), e.g. Debian and GNU philosophy so much, it is for humanity not against it.
I remember once walking with colleagues from work, someone by the way asked: what’d be the best source for a company’s profit? I had a briliant idea back then, I said: stupidity. I think nobody got what I meant back then. But I gave it many more thoughts since then and it actually confirms in my mind.
Human stupidity is the best source of income. Companies (and governments) profit on human stupidity.
I could then call companies the harversters of stupidity. It’s not limited to companies, basically one salesman or other profit driven person, could be too. Especially thieves, scammers, etc. For me the biggest companies (especially those above, which own few big companies) are the worst ever. They have the most profits, money and thus power. Power to spread and commercialize stupidity, this includes dumb, irritating commercials (funny video here).
Of course the biggest commercial entities are governments and they surely are the biggest harvesters of human stupidity.
⚠️Warning⚠️
Here ends the section meant to be informational and youth friendly.
I refer once again to the top page warning text, and if needed I advice leaving this page.
🎥Movies🟡
Warning: I recommend first checking yourself or by your parent, if any movie is appropriate for your age and for you particularly.
I am adding a color circle before title. E.g.:
🟢 is okay for youth IMO, but this is only my opinion. 🟡 likely already has death(s) in. 🟠 is partly depressing, shocking.
🎥Favourite drama movies🟡
Here I list my favourite movies, mostly fictional and drama, and I put my comment on how it relates (shows or parodies) to the topic of human stupidity. Starting from IMO most relevant movies.
I’d say these aren’t the movies you’d like to rewatch (compared to more visually entertaining or fun comedies). Yet these are those I’d recommend most, since they are teaching us most, about real life (while still being movies not documentaries yet).
The list is long and has (probably too) many movies.
The form of below list is so:
Title (with link to imdb) – Year – imdb Rating (/ 10)
my comment text
💥Most relevant
🟢The Big Short – 2015 – 7.8
Based on real events during the 2006-7 mortgage market issues.
🟢Idiocracy – 2006 – 6.5
A parody of what the world became, after stupidity took over completely.
Few videos: opening scene, my favourite part, and review.
I used to laugh at that, but now I think our situation is way worse than in that movie. Sure it’s just a movie and not a very good one. And as a movie it only had a few main characters, not billions.
On wikipedia, Dumbing down, Are We Doomed to a Dumber Future?,
17 Ways ‘Idiocracy’ Has Actually Come True – cool list of things somewhat similar in real life.
▶️No, Idiocracy Is Not A Documentary – over 1 hour talk about the movie and it’s flaws in relation to real world.
🟢Sorry to Bother You – 2018 – 6.9
A better alternative to Idiocracy. Not my favourite since it has some unreal fantasy creatures near end and an unreal white voice ability. But surely has few good parts, in spirit of Idiocracy, i.e. to awaken people.
🟡Triangle of Sadness – 2022 – 7.2
Satire. Shows how different rich people react to ship disaster. Then how rich are worthless for survival scenario and the working class does all.
🟡Eden – 2024 – 6.5
Based on real life events. It shows that even with few people on one island, the worst thing isn’t surviving and making a living there but standing other people. Also shows that the caring couple with child are most likely to survive, and the most toxic people are likely to leave or get killed.
On a small scale it shows that quote: “Hell is other people” (more on it here).
🟡There Will Be Blood – 2007 – 8.2
My favourite movie with also religion topic. It shows a story of both an oil prospector and religious teacher (or even a prophet) starting business in same place and competing with each other, which is later getting more ugly. I like it even more since the oil business won over religion.
Can’t say the same in real world though. Seems both are getting trillions of dollars profit, around the whole world. I guess maybe oil could decrease if most people finally realized global warming and pollution (since 1970 or earlier even 1910), but relligions are still here (since 2000 years) and atheism seems slightly decreasing.
🟡District 9 – 2009 – 7.9
As story of how everyone whats stuff (from aliens) for themselves. The military only wanted new weapons and that by all means.
🟠The Platform – 2019 – 7.0
A horror within a prison having many levels and moving platform with food. Serves actually more as a comparison to society divided by classes and greed. Even if all prisoners could eat enough from that plaform, that’s not the case. Those up top are eating too much and causing many more below to fight or starve.
🟠Snowpiercer – 2013 – 7.1
A rather unrealistic train traveling all the time with the only people left on Earth. Shows also the division of society classes in a smaller scale and a revolution from the back to the front of train.
🟢The Onion’s Future News From The Year 2137 – Short 10 min video, news parody of future. My favourite.
my playlist of news and related fun videos.
🟢Don’t Look Up – 2021 – 7.2
A parody/satire showing vast manipulation of people by country officials. Ridiculous since looking up was only needed, to see the trurh was otherwise.
🟢In time – 2011 – 6.7
A Sci-Fi world, where people don’t age past 25, and there is no money only time as currency. Surely a fantasy. But it showed well that people still divided themselves into sections with walls with payments for those who cross. Sections were areas dividing classes: from the richest who live forever, to poorest who died everyday for richestto profit and maintain their status. Well that part is quite relevant and similar to real world.
🟡Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb – 1964 – 8.3
Seriously old, but highly rated, probably the 2nd black-white movie I watched. A parody where military mistake is causing nuclear missile launch and doomsday. Also parodies politicians trying to deal with this situation.
🌟Less relevant
🟢Captain Fantastic – 2016 – 7.8
A story of a widower with six children living in forest. I really liked how his even young children were more educated about constitution, world etc, than common kids living in city.
🟡The Giver – 2014 – 6.4
A small utopian village where peple live without war, pain, suffering, differences or choices. One older man knows the truth about wars etc and shares it with a young man. I usually find those types of worlds very unreal and such movies tend to be boring (at least 2/3 of). But surely an interesting concept. Usually such movies end with some revolution after which everything goes back or close to our world.
🔵WALL·E – 2008 – 8.4
A 3D animation, mostly about robots and space. Boldly depicting people as so obese and dependent that they’re not able to survive by themselves.
🟡Nightcrawler – 2014 – 7.8
A story about a guy earning money by filming crime scenes for news at night. Then his development leading to a company and betrayal of involved people and even doing crime.
🟢The Professor – 2018 – 6.7
Interesting story about a teacher diagnosed with a terminal illness, who speeds up his teachings only to most important aspects of life. Starts with a cool scene when he makes the majority of his class leave.
🟡Gone Girl – 2014 – 8.1 – favourite part monologue video
A long but thrilling story about a wife disappearing and realising an elaborate plan of framing her husband.
🟢The Fault in Our Stars – 2014 – 7.6
An interesting story of a young couple with cancer. I liked her sharp points of view on some life matters.
🟡The Intouchables – 2011 – 8.5
A warming story resulting from a friendship between a new caregiver and a person with mobility disabilitiy.
🟢Limitless – 2011 – 7.4
Not my favourite since it’s not really possible. But shows how one’s life could go, having a lot of brain power (intelligence). I think mostly today, people loose brain power due to distractions like social media and addictions. While also slowing down, getting lazy, making others profit (e.g. Netflix and chill), shopping/consumerism, etc. instead of pushing themselves to acheiving more, for themselves and others.
🟡The Book of Eli – 2010 – 6.8
A post apocaliptic world with a story of few people. I most liked the part when the bad guy wanted to find the bible and once again use it to manipulate people. I didn’t really like the ending as an atheist, I even think of it as a commercial for religion.
🔴Elite Squad 2: The Enemy Within – 2010 – 8.0
🔴Elite Squad – 2007 – 8.0
Very intense movies with strong violence and severe crimes. In a country filled with drugs and corruption.
⭐Older
🟢The Invention of Lying – 2009 – 6.8
A pretty interesting concept. Shows a world where no one could lie, and only one guy started. I really liked the first part, before lies. Especially the honest coca-cola commercial: “All we’re asking is to not stop buying it… Has a lot of sugar…”
🟢City of Ember – 2008 – 6.4
An underground village in which people were meant to survive and go back up, but after decades it got forgotten. Until their generator was failing too much. Also shows their greedy governor who kept the best (food) for himself.
🟡The Vicious Kind – 2009 – 6.8
A story of a man who does what he urges and is rather destructive to others even if he wanted to help.
🟢The Man from Earth – 2007 – 7.8
A low budget movie, all in one place with just few people, mostly just talking. Yet quite interesting to see various reactions to one man’s revelation that he has lived for thousands of years.
🟢Dreamland – 2006 – 6.3
A romantic drama of a young man choosing between attractive but troubled woman and a less attractive woman caring for her father instead of moving out of trailer park. Features very memorable music.
🟡Pretty Persuasion – 2005 – 6.4
A story of a young yet very manipulative teenager, partly in court and about sexual harassment.
🟠The Butterfly Effect – 2004 – 7.6
Shows few ways how a guy’s life could go, after he discovers he can go back in time. But sadly each one has a tragedy in it.
💫Oldest
🟡American Beauty – 1999 – 8.3
A mid-life crisis story of a sexually frustrated father. Well IMO shows how his wife caused it after years. I also see the problem of windows with no curtains in houses here (privacy), as basically most of the movie could be avoided if they couldn’t see what neighbours were doing.
🟡The Ice Storm – 1997 – 7.3
A drama of parents doing substance abuse and swinging lifestyle and the effect on their children, including a tragic death.
🟠Thirteen – 2003 – 6.8
A sad, intense story of mother and her teenage daughter changing to bad life style by being manupilated from a toxic teenager.
🟡Simon Birch – 1999 – 6.8
A touching story of two young friends, one with with stunted growth.
👎Other, bad movies
There are many of IMO rather stupid movies that I’ll put in a row. Usually they are just below my level and either filled with drugs/narcotics consumption, alcohol, partying and thus commercials of such additions. Yet surprisingly highly rated by people on IMDb:
Ted (2012) – 6.9, Pineapple Express (2008) – 6.9, Remember the Daze (2007) – 5.6, The Hangover 2009 – 7.7,
And plenty of unnecessary, way too low budget crapy movies, made for quantity not quality. Usually just way too ridiculous, to take seriously and visually way too crappy to convince. But surely some like bad made movies. E.g.:
Sharkanado (2013) – 3.3 (and many similar: Catnado (2022) – 1.7, Monsternado (2023) – 2.6, etc),
Cocaine Bear (2023) – 5.6, Killer Sofa (2018) – 3.7, Methgator (2023) – 3.4, Rubber (2010) – 5.7
I think on a page called human stupidity, I had to put this, likely a noteworthy example of stupidity.
🎵My favourite motivational songs🎤
Continuing the list above, here are also the few songs that inspired me:
🇩🇪German
- Die Ärzte – “Deine Schuld” – (“Your Fault”) – 2003 – ▶️video, 🗒️lyrics explained, original lyrics
“It’s not your fault that the world is as it is.
It would be your fault if it stayed so.”
Is likely my main motto since 2010 or so. - Farin Urlaub – “Lieber Staat” – (“Dear State”) – 2005 – 🎵song, 🗒️lyrics translated
“Dear state, I get it. It’s just wonderful here. The masses are cheering behind you.
Dear state, no bullshit. Stay just the way you are. I’ll tattoo your flag on my face. I’m so terribly proud of you.”
Of course the whole song is sarcastic. It sounds positive, but it’s meant to be negated for true meaning. - Farin Urlaub – “Xenokratie” – (Xenocracy, word meaninig) – 2005 -🎵song, ️️▶️video with lyrics, 🗒️lyrics explained
- Farin Urlaub – “Idisco” – 2015 – 🎵song, ▶️video (meh), 🗒️lyrics translated, also here
Quite funny but I think it actually describes well how an intelligent person sees nearby people. After all the more intelligent one is, the more stupid people nearby.

- Green Day – “Back in the USA” – 2017 – ▶️video, 🗒️lyrics
I like the video most. Shows color glasses which show truth in titles, like in TV: “President to lie to nation tomorrow”, and on commercials: consume, conform, the american dream, procreate now, this is your god (on money), etc. - Green Day – “American Idiot” – 2004 – ▶️video, 🗒️lyrics
Definitely a bold title, yet a well received song. - Dennis Graft feat. Maria Milewska – “Until” – 2000 – 🎵song
Not much lyrics in it, my favourite, is the last part:
“Until the cities turn to dust, until there’s nothing left.” - Charlotte Wessels – “Soft Revolution” – 2021 – ▶️video, 🗒️lyrics
A great, emotional, nice voice for anti-war etc.

- Kult – “Poznaj swój raj” – 1998 – 🎵️song, lyrics translated
I got it on cassette from my old school friend. Was definitely a shocking text back then, and still holds today (especially that topic).
I didn’t listen to that band and I don’t listen to Polish songs since like 20 years. I later was learning German and English. I watch and read internet in English only, I would be quite limited if I did only Polish for sure. - Łzy – “Weronika, efekt motyla” – 2005 – 🎵song with lyrics (and with english lyrics), lyrics
A sad story of beautiful Veronica who run away from house and started sleeping on streets, doing drugs and selling her body.
🎥Favourite documentaries, etc.🔴
Here definitely starts the red🔴 part, shocking or dangerous to watch.
Documentaries are the wisest movies, real life based, the only ones helping people (by explaining complex topics, world issues, showing bad reality, etc). The key ones, yet so rarely watched. Way less than the most popular entertaining movies.
Many have red🔴 circle, because these are also the most shocking, intense, sad or depressing. Obviously hard to watch.
Corporation
🟠🎥The Corporation – 2003 – 8.0 🏭🤪
🟠🎥The New Corporation: The Unfortunately Necessary Sequel – 2020 – 7.0
Extremely important documentaries.
It shows how corporations (companies etc, having legal status of a human) in result act as psychopaths.
Corporations do everything in the only purpose of profit (for stakeholders) and btw. do great damage to humanity. They:
- Do harm to human health, by pollution, waste, garbage, chemicals.
- Act with no concern of others feelings.
- Are unable to maintain enduring relationships.
- Act with reckless disregard for safety of others (including employees, clients).
- Lie repeatedly, and deceit others (for profit).
- Are incapable of experiencing guilt.
They never admit what they did publicly, continue lying, etc. - Fail to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviours.
If it’s profitable they will break law. it’s their normal practice, and usual business expense. - Use seduction, charm, glibness, or ingratiation to achieve their goals.
In other words they manipulate others for their profit. E.g. politicians by lobbying, news media, manipulate research documents, etc.
The scale of these damages is gigantic now.
The biggest corporations (like coal,oil,gas industires, e.g. BP) do the biggest harm, visible by destruction on Earth etc.
It wasn’t so before 100 years: a company lasted only for a certain time (e.g. a few years) and had a set limit for its value (of profit). Back then also there was more done by governments. Unfortunately nowadays the corporations rule the governments.
The movie from 2020 does show some improvements and finally some movement and changes for better. I think it’s still a very long way.
It also shows how companies work, they:
- Present themself as a friend and ally.
Now also lying that they care and are fixing environment. - Turn people againts their adversaries.
- Don’t pay their fair share.
(avoid taxes, use tax havens, enrich millionaires not all people)
Result is 1 trillion $ lost by 12 biggest companies. - Take whatever they can
By also creating a crisis, denying resources and privatizing (even water, healthcare, war, prisons, schools, libraries, post office, science, etc). - Use information to control people (now big data).
By collecting, monitoring everything (they can) what people do online, visit, watch etc. Then analysing that and manipulating people by ads, recommendations, etc. - Exploit unequal advantage.
In 2018 CEOs had a 270 times bigger pay (salary) than lowest worker. In 1950 it was 20 times bigger. - Control those who might control them.
Now goverments too. Also they buy any smaller companies, that might become rivaling.
Movie also shows how corporate revenue has risen in the last 40 years, at the same time their tax dropped. While share of national (US) income shifted (from 10% in 1980 to 20% in 2010) from the bottom 50%, to the top 1% richest. The poorest people have 1% of world’s wealth, while 44% of wealth is in the hands of top richest.
List
🟡📚Money Socialism – by Roland Baader – 2010 (book) – 🏦💸
How governments and federal banks manipulate and steal from people by printing money and causing inflation, etc, on purpose. And already since 100 years so, when gold was fully backing up money the last time. Also shows that only 1 in 1000 economists are well informed (from Austria’s school), the rest is just crazy idiots (term from book) who spread stupidity: they print false books, allow teaching only those lies, all to keep misinformation. Only those 1 in 1000 did know global crisis would happen before. I’m not sure if or how much this (1000) number improved since 2010. But inflation is ever present, so nothing changed globally for humanity. All people are still slowly and quietly being stolen from.
🔴🎥David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet – 2020 – 8.9 – 🌳🌴🚜
Beautiful nature and how people are destroying it, for commercial profits. On a scale effecting whole planet. Some with irreversible consequences.
🟢🎥Minimalism: A Documentary About the Important Things – 2015 – 6.6 – ✨
A crucial view on modern consumerism and how to live a better, happier life, having minimal number of items like cloths, tiny or small house, etc. Authors website is here.
🔴🎥The True Cost – 2015 – 7.7 – 👗👚
About (fast) fashion and all bad that it brings. Old but crucial documentary.
Normally (long ago) there were 2 or 4 seasons for clothing, fast fashion made 52. Cloths can last long years (10 or more), but fashion industries made it into a consumable, disposable thing that you buy and need to basically throw out after a week or when next product comes up. It surely is one of the stupidest things that happened on Earth driven to the extreme by only profits (disregarding pollution, nature and peoples health, lifes, living conditions and salaries). Mainly a result of capitalism in USA where biggest fashion companies operate.
Movie shows fashion as the 2nd most poluting industry, with unpaid workers (in Bangladesh, Cambodia etc), getting very low wages and even diseases in the process. Made it to maximize profits, also causing diseases from chemicals on cotton fields and areas with factories polluting rivers and water for local people. But for industries it’s even more profits because the same chemical companies also sell medicine for those people who they made sick. Another result (of the retarded fashion industry) are the huge garbage areas of piling up discarded cloths.
There was also a topic of seed monopoly for patented, modified cotton plant that companies want farmers to pay for every seed and control price.
Lastly a disaster of Rana Plaza collapse a mainly cloth factory with neglected building standards and maintenance. Workers saw building cracks before collapse and yet they were forced to work, many died.
🔴🎥The Lost Century: And How to Reclaim It – 2023 – 7.6 – 🏭⚡🛸
Huge revelations here, well even assuming it’s only 10% true, we surely lost a century being stupid slaves: burning gasoline, driving cars, burning coal and needing grid of wires to get electricity, etc. All while polluting the whole planet for huge profits of biggest companies. BTW making a small number of people extremely, unnecessarily rich, having way to explensive lifestyles, allowing that big money to manipulate politics, governments and laws, making more poor people, and bigger contrast between rich and poor.
If those small, endless energy sources exists (hidden), or aliens visit us in antigravity craft, then it’s not a national security matter that drives hiding it all from public knowledge. It’s national stupidity that governments (or corporations ruling them) want to keep, for maximum profits from people, even by enslaving them to now century old fuels and energy sources.
🟡🎥Eating Our Way to Extinction – 2021 – 7.6 – 🐄🍗🚜
Shows how factory farming (raising animals like cows, chicken, pigs, fish) takes up most of our lands, needed for crops to feed them. Huge numbers of cows etc need to live, for people to still eat them. Their living conditions are horrible, barely livable, yet instead of changing for better they feed animals with plenty of bad medicine and chemicals🥼 (normally toxic). Then of course being slaughtered and basically tortured, to maximize profits. Movie also explains that cows produce methane (CH₄, by digestion), a way more potent climate changing gas, it’s worse than all CO₂ from car, plane engines.
🟠🎥Racing Extinction – 2015 – 8.1 – 🦈🐘
Shows how humanity has driven way too many species into extinction or close to it. Many by mass hunting and fishing for food, but not only. Movie includes also the stupidest reasons to kill of almost all animals like: elefants for ivory, rhinos, whales, sharks for fins in stupid restaurants, and many other. Especially in Asia’s/China’s wet markets, some (illegaly hunted and) selling endangered species like sharks. Likely food for idiots from richest elites or anyone willing to pay and having no respect for animals.
🟡🎥What Is a Woman? – 2022 – 8.1 – 👩
An investigation of sex and gender movements, and who profits most from that. E.g. the biggest pill companies selling supplements etc. needed to use after gender change. Companies which would rather alienate and sue a parent, to get a child to change gender. An absolutely disgusting, business behaviour for profit. Then surgeons, psychiatrist and all other people with job adapted for it.
🟢🎥Pirates of Silicon Valley – 1999 – 7.2 – 🖨️
History of how Apple and Microsoft started. Simply a few people stealing from each other. It wouldn’t be that, if it was Free Software FOSS (like Unix, Linux) from start, which is the best solution also giving freedom.
🟠🎥Religulous – 2008 – 7.6 – ⛪🙏
Surely disliked or cringy for any religious person. And yet so needed watch and a great movie. As an (already for 20 years) atheist, I really enjoyed it.
It does logically and with reason disprove (and somewhat disregard) most main religions. It can be viewed as a intelligent and respectful mockery of the current world’s state, where majority are still slaves of religions.
I already have a religions blog post with much more, so I’ll be short (and bold) here. Human stupidity is still best shown by vast existence and practice of religions. All religions are false (based on lies and manipulation) and are simply businesses, addicting people and children (like most other businesses do (or try) nowadays too).
🟠🎥Bowling for Columbine – 2002 – 7.9 – 🔫
Explanation of the huge amount of weapons owned by civilians in USA, manipulation into nation of fear and therefore way more frequent school shootings and other gun uses and killings (100 times more than in any other country). Old but very good, still nothing changed for better, there is a rouge shooting like every week in USA.
📃List of topics🔴☠️
In the list I will try to gather all topics (issues) that are still wrong with humanity.
I’ll start with the biggest, most significant problems first. Then probably more random. But either way it’s difficult to sort some.
I grouped them into tiers: 1 Gigantic, 2 Huge, 3 Big, 4 Medium, 5 Small.
Tier 1, Gigantic
🔭Lost century🛸
I think I should put some distance to this movie and topic of aliens. I mean I can’t take this as 100% true even if so many witnesses are talking about it. Sure, some movies are made to mock, and disrupt the topic. But I found at least few decent (by Steven Greer), hard not to take as truth after seeing.
Still if you don’t like the topic, feel free to just skip it, and go into wars or crime or other clearly visible topics.
Firstly movies:
The Lost Century: And How to Reclaim It (2023) – 7.6
Battle for Disclosure (2024) – 5.6
The Phenomenon (2020) – 7.4
UFO Hearing In Congress LIVE News | US Hiding Evidence Of UFOs Claims Whistleblower – 5h
Inside Knowledge: What the Government REALLY Knows About UFOs
Yet I really would like it to be the case. And if it is true, then seriously this is the biggest revelation for most humanity and the biggest scam (like 70 years) that this has been hidden from public by force and huge money sums (also by murdering or silencing inventors of free energy sources), manipulating whole media (and worldwide) to mock anyone talking seriously about hovering extra terrestial space crafts (mistakenly on pupose named UFOs, because they are known and have been spotted since centuries)
I’m putting this first. Simply because it could solve most of our world problems. Problems which were created by hiding these already made inventions and truth, which made the whole humanity into slaves of biggest corporations/organizations and old obsolete fuels to produce energy (from over 100 years ago) and also to travel and transport in that way.
While it is possible to have clean energy source with zero cost. Because there are hundreds of trillions of dollars in those corporations already.
It is a deadly serious topic. There is a short quote of Greta at start of this movie:
“We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairytales of eternal economic growth.”
It is/was my favourite topic. So let me just summarize what the movie author claims:
UAPs/UFOs (deliberately obfuscated terms for alternative energy and propulsion device) as many of them are produced by us, just kept in secret.
🛸 extraterestial spacecraft
aliens👽
anti-gravity
zero point energy⚡
🚧
💣Wars and military🪖,🔴☠️
Wars are the worst, period. Can’t put it simpler.
Wars not only kill people, destroy buildings, cause traumatic experiences. Wars also bring the worst war crimes like: concentration camps, manslaughter, torture (starting after “Prevalence”, here too starting after “complaints”), frequent rapes, looting, etc.
Military can also manipulate (or even “enslave”) people into soldiers, many of which can have later PTSD for the rest of live and can’t recover from the horrors of wars.
Lastly, wars are also very destructive and toxic to environment.
It is clear to me that all this still exists because of human stupidity, which took tens of thousands years to make. And as a result of a giant profiting business (e.g. in USA, China, Russia), but present in almost all countries.
And yet some would say that wars drive technological innovation, fuel inventions, jobs or whatever else. Yeah for war machines, guns and bombs, that make it all continue and possbily allow more (and more advanced) devastation.
For me the opposite is clear, we know now technologies exist that could change all (since 100 years, from Lost Century) into a peaceful way of living with nature, even without poverty or pollution. Yet the military and their companies withold these from public to have a technological gain, either to use just in case or to be used in secrecy. There is also a ton of lies and propaganda, spreading fear and manipuation to continue wars and military operations.
I almost sure that our (be it a country or whole humanity) worst enemy is this and other human stupidity. Any more intelligent (alien) species (of which some already were on Earth, likely since ancient times) didn’t wipe us out or enslave us. There are reports that they (or we) monitor our stupid nuclear arsenal and want us to not destroy the planet.
I’m not saying all with military is wrong. I’m saying that in case of USA (which military is the biggest), this has serious negative impact on whole country. Since they sacrifice most resources into military. Imagine if they were spending it all on: education, crime problems, drugs, homeless, etc. Well result would probably be like in Europe or other places where college is free.
USA🇺🇸,🔴☠️
As for military, I will put an example of USA here. It’s a country which spends most on military💰 (and spreads it on vast area of Earth). So much that you don’t have free college education (clearly they prefer people without), free health (it’s incredibly expensive), etc. All this to put even more funds into their army (instead of into people), and those (old) war machines (I even watched their fighter planes as a kid in ilustrated books).
So what for? To have the biggest and most profitable military. I’m not saying it’s not needed, there are reasons for fighting terrorism and Nazi (totalitarianism) type countries. Some were fake, made up. Has that ended? I don’t think so. Will it or is it just more profitable if it stays? There are also fabricated reasons just to keep profits, get more oil, keep the (USA) nation in fear, distract people from other topics, etc. Kind of like: if you have a big hammer🔨, everything is a nail.
Torture😡
Related to topic, USA did (and likely still does) torture war prisoners. Likely the worst page🛑 on wikipedia, you should never visit. Well, I think it proves that USA is just retarded, and its military and goverment, as complex and big as they may seem, can just be summarized as bunch of idiotic children playing dangerously (doing things they never should). Yes well I understand that the Islamic and other countries do similar things. IMO torture should never exists or be used, quickly killing people is enough. It was also proven many times that torture does not give anything, people under torture will say and do anything to end it. I expect an agency that has intelligence in it’s name (CIA) not to act (or be) so retarded.
Sketch🍆
I remember one sketch showing USA military (I can’t find it): there was a table and couple of countries represented by people, talking, then came a person (with USA flag IIRC) and a long stick ending with a large dildo🍆 and started just flapping it around on table (maybe had a map or something). Yeah silly, but it does kind of resemble USA military actions quite well I think.
War reasons, fascism💣
Recently I found the reasons for wars in the book Money Socialism. It’s the stupid goverments (all of them, maybe partly resulting from Capitalism or just own greed for power) who create conditions making people choose wars. There was a sentence in this book telling this about World War II, and those made conditions have led people to chose rulers who then started WWII and its war crimes.
A good, new video around this topic too: Is fascism back.
Anti-war☮️
Of course there are smarter people who prefer peace and are anti-war. It’s just that this is a minority (same as with intelligence to see the big picture), so the stupidity wins and wars continue. How many people are interested in politics, feed on news, still read newpapers, watch tv, all of which are just means to manipulate people by governments and keep people in fear.
Obviously this varies by countries, some are more dictatorships or more religious (Islam religion dictates to do wars).
Hen house🐔
Additionally I learned an observation from my father who has a hen house: the more hens, cocks or chickens there are the more they will be fighting each other and get hurt more after. I think this is what happens in nature. But nature balances by itself and has many species, top predators etc. Countries are unnatural, they have more of: corrupt goverments, politics, propaganda, money, limited lands and resources. And above all overpopulation. If no country limits population, it means they want as many people as possible and stupid, yet still manipulable. While having same area. I think this all makes wars more probable and it’s all done on purpose.
Indigenous people⛺
A chapter good for contrast and to show a way better way.
We still have a lot to learn from how indigenous people (likely all, e.g. native americans) lived:
- with respect to nature and animals, not by farming them for profits
- in tents, not multi story houses or huge skyscrapers
I’m okay with one story houses only. The moment you build more, means there is a land area problem, and city begins. Cities exist IMO because of land and building owners making most profits and because of slow transportation. Surely something that is solved by fast anti-gravity crafts, so many times visualized, but now known to be present already on Earth, but hidden and kept in secrecy. - using horses to move distances, but also respecting animals and not hurting or overworking them
- having only primitive weapons for hunting, and killing rarely, only when needed for their survival. Definitely not like modern factory farming or all those freaking for profit hunters who decimated animal populations of whales, rhinos, elephants, sharks, etc.
Survival🌳
I watched recently Lexie’s survival video and it made me think. ….🚧
Generally it was a probably sponsored commercial video for such survival trips into jungle. And even that survival was using few key items (like sparkler, knife, etc) you clearly didn’t make yourself in jungle, just brought them into, from industrialized world.
But key takeaways from the video are:
To survive (and live, in a jungle or other place), a human needs:
– water, fire / heat, shelter, food, and some (wild, natural) land area too.
Well sadly nowadays in cities (or country even) all of these are controlled (by state) and sold to you (overpriced), right?
The best one can/could do is having a large land, enough to have crops and/or animals for yourself, to be independent. But how many can this? Unfortunately most land area is already freaking designated for crops for animals that people still eat in vast quantities. Vegetables need much less area, water and time to produce. And most importantly this is also a big issue (resulting faster) because of overpopulation.
⚡Energy, oil, gas, coal⚫🟠
🌏Climate change
Aka global warming. Let’s start with main (big, long) wikipedia pages:
Climate_change, Effects_of_climate_change, Tipping_points_in_the_climate_system
Videos (somewhat shorted)
Our Legacy, Your Future….Explained – by Thunderf00t (already known in 1985 by Carl Sagan, original video)
We STOPPED global warming once (by accident)… can we do it again?
It was also known already in 1970s, by oil company’s own research, that burning car fuel will cause global warming.
Related human made disasters:
Deepwater Horizon oil spill and Deepwater Horizon explosion
🧪Bad chemicals, materials
Lead
Leaded fuel
Video:The Man Who Accidentally Killed The Most People In History, text: page.
It was freaking known that fuel with Lead (Pb) was bad and caused lead poisioning, even by tiny amounts. Already in 1786 it was known that led is toxic and a serious threat to human health. And still, it was added to gasoline (by Midgley) and mass produced. Obviously for more profits, while also spreading lies in commercials.
Lead has then spread into air, oceans, water, snow, even people’s bones.
Resulting in people having (e.g. in U.S. 1000x) more lead in blood, also decreased IQ (total 800 milion IQ points), behaviour problems, even crime rise and serial killers increase due to this, 20 years later.
It is still a problem today. Even if it was banned, leaded gasoline is still used in piston engine airplanes.
Midgley is now regarded as the man who contributed more damage (and deaths) to the world than any other human being who has ever lived. He also had the most impact on Earth’s atmosphere (Ozone layer).
Lead batteries
Seems to be a past issue now.
Were definitely heavy and caused health issues. Wiki link, under battery recycling.
Solder
It was a while ago when companies moved to using leadless solder, since this caused health issues for workers (e.g. who soldered daily). I wonder how this affects hobbyists who use it. It’s still being sold.
Mercury
🚧
Asbestos

The asbestos problem is worse than we thought

PFAS
The current big health danger, causing many diseases. Also called forever chemicals. Having properties great for industires, but horrible in long term for Earth and human body.
Videos:

Microplastics

From decaying plastics. Now they are ever present: in oceans, fish, food, etc.
Other
Surely there are more, worst is what we (all or the public) don’t know yet.
Possibly while companies make more profits because of that and also can spread lies and disinformation to continue.
🚧
🔥World burn
There that saying: “Some poeple just want to watch the world burn”. Well the world is aready burning.
It’s naturally burning just in volcanoes, wildfires etc. It’s burning artificially (by people’s industries) in:
- all the coal burned for energy, production of steel etc.
- oil rigs and refineries
- the Amazon rainforest right now (or other forests), I mean those decades of cutting trees and burning them as biofuel or used otherwise.
- in big rockets starting into space or orbit, surely something that could be skipped almost entirely
- jet engines, of way too many planes, especially for holiday travel which isn’t critical for survival, and business travel (since people can meet and talk remotely)
- It’s burning in every gasoline engine including cars (about 1.5 billion), trucks, buses, diesel trains, etc.
- in all wars and their destructions, happening all the time somewhere, even in few places
- It’s also sometimes burning in places where wildfires happen, but companies have built flamable wooden houses for profits and others cheapened on safety including fire departments.
It was known already in 1985 or even 1975 (so 40 years ago) in that we need to stop burning fossil fuels, oil, gas, coal etc. and basically we didn’t change much, just surely worsened the situation since there is more people and more of the old industires doing CO2 emissions.
Pollution ..🚧
commercial garbage ..🚧
🚀Nuclear weapons
There still are thousands of nuclear weapons (missiles, bombs) operational (in submarines, bunkers, etc.).
Most are in US (the country that I’ll likely mention most often).
Video: Human Stupidity and Nuclear Weapons analysing this movie from 1964, and asking:
How long can error-prone humans (making mistakes) control nuclear weapons which require none.
Well there was a mention in The Lost Century movie that aliens actually monitor our nuclear weapons on Earth. To protect us from nuclear explosion due to mistake, errors or maybe even starting a nuclear war. There are still plenty of nuclear missiles in submarines, but alien’s crafts also go underwater without any problems.
⛪Religions🙏🟠
I made a separate, long post about religions here.
To sum shortly and boldly my view of this: religions are the longest lasting (1000s of years) lies, invented manipulation and control of people on global scale. Also causing wars and conflicts. Religions are passed by parents to kids (that’s abuse, by design), instead of allowing them to choose any or none. All religions can’t be true, and since many exists then none of them are true. There are many because different regions of the world came up with own.
Religions exist, continue and spread because of human stupidity (it’s a sum of abusing childrens minds and social coercion as explained in this video). It’s the lack of intelligence and logical thinking (other great link with many logical reasons against existence of God, already questioned and explained by many brilliant minds since centuries (philosophers and scientists)) that makes people believe and have faith instead of doubting, seeking truth, proof, sense, reason, bigger view point, general knowledge of other, etc. Also countries, govermnents are fault here IMO.
Tier 2, Huge🔴
Overpopulation👥
This is about human overpopulation.
It was stated in this recent documentary: David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet from 2020.
There was also before World Scientists’ Warning to Humanity (in 1992 signed by about 1,700 leading scientists, then in 2017 by over 15 000 scientists). It is calling for, among other things, human population planning, and drastically diminishing per capita consumption of fossil fuels, meat, and other resources.
I’m putting this huge topic here first. It’s the biggest problem on Earth (as said in above documentary): there are simply 10 times more people on Earth than it should be. A billion people should be the maximum allowed, to sustain life on Earth without drastic consequences (Human impact on the environment) and rising poverty contrasted with rich getting more rich and ridiculous with their luxurious expenses🤑 while so many (1 billion) are struggling with basic needs for life (water, food, shelter, education, electricity, etc.).
Additionally IMO it’s the main reason of why the world is so wrong, hostile and countries or groups of people go against each other. Of course this is also fueled by profits of basically all governments, companies, etc. Thus their added manipulation too. Every such commercial organization profits from more people, and they are in favor for making children (i.e. future tax payers, customers, or generally just slaves of the system).
Yet there are not global restrictions on population on Earth at all. There was once in China One-child policy (soon rate was 35%, then 2 child, and then abandoned).
Wiki big cd..🚧
Livestock, mostly cattle and pigs (60%)..🚧
Cities🏙️🏚️, density. 🚧
Torture, slavery⛓️🔴☠️
This is an insane topic. It would be so much better if it didn’t even exist. Or at least that it was the stupidity done in ancient ages. Still it’s not that long ago for some countries. Yet it still exists in in the 21st century just in different ways.
As for torture, there is a wiki page of course but I’m not linking it, and even many top 10 videos, like that was something to watch, I can’t even.
But very sadly it still exists in modern times. E.g. gangs used it for their way to extort ransom money, clearly it’s present during wars, and probably in some prisons too.
Additionally there is female genital mutilation and the worst human trafficking🛑 topic. But there is likely much more, that I simply don’t want to know.
Crime⚖️,🔴☠️
There are so many types and terms here that I’ll just link to wikipedia.
Serial killers🔪🔴☠️
I think the worst case are serial killers, but that is just the tip of a mountain of others. It’s common in USA, but present on whole Earth.
Strangely there are few channels (having lots of videos) with people covering the numerous (and worst) cases of those killers. Well deifinetly NSFL topics and videos, e.g. here🛑 (cases e.g. DPR🛑☠️, TB🛑 already having few full movies about too).
There is of course a reason here, and it’s to learn from it. Even if it’s just a direct result of 1% people being psychopats and sociopaths, then added bad parenting, etc.
Here are my personal, bold opinions on this subject. I think we should kill those, as early as possible, without trials. Even as early as when spotted in child doing animal abuse. It was most commonly present among those worst killers. Or after first try/case/victim, but do we really need victims first?? But yeah, we have laws not to kill people. Here it’s resulting in an expense, wasting money and jobs, to keep them alive, there is nothing really to learn from them unfortunatelly. It’s the first case for me (and not the last) to killing people (death penalty). No doubt for me, surely the best solution (OFC given proper (but short) evidence): if someone does (want to) torture or kill others, they should be dead first☠️, before that even happens.
The problem here is that some of those (high IQ) go into extreme efforts to cover, remain hidden, leave no traces etc. But honestly that’s where I see an issue with neighbours not caring or noticing anything or lack of some basic routine controlls of living spaces, basements, even trailers, etc. Sure, it wouldn’t fix completely just made more efforts on killers to move, rent, etc. But IMO it’d be better than nothing. And letting victims suffer and police, investigators etc have more jobs. time spend and pay.
Next..🚧
I’ll just list a few here: domestic violence, drug related crime,
cybercrime, scams,
🚧
then tax evasion and bribery (so often used in big companies or politicans, in those cases called lobbying)
and even the rare ones: public intoxication, excessive noise, and littering .
Human rights👥
Starting with a link to website with lots of data.
One good graph is this list of countries, sorted from best to worst. It also has a slider for year, and it’s good to see how countries improved over years.
But clearly at the ending countries are the absolute worst and it’s even more troubling that a few didn’t change almost at all in decades.
Living in well developed countries it’s hard to imagine whole countries where you e.g.: don’t have Free Speech, can’t leave country, or go to prison for saying something. Other few I’ll mention which I found rather ridiculous is a country where sex toys are banned, prostitution, gay mariage, or even being gay or masturbation. I’m not saying everyone should do any of these, I’m saying they should be allowed to.
Another link, somewhat related: Human Development Index sorting countries.
Money🏦..🚧
Money is made by countries/governments. Since it isn’t backed by gold, it can be freely produced by federal banks. Then given out in banks as credits.
Inflation is done on purpose, it is a result of governments creating more money. This after about a year directly causes inflation.
Money’s purpose is to addict people to it. Which will then enslave them to jobs, usually for a lifetime. Money is also there to fuel consumerism in people and economies in countries.
Contrasts between rich and poor.🚧
Disasters😱🫣,🔴☠️
I will link wikipedia pages with long lists here.
Lists_of_death_tolls (list of other lists, incredibly long in total)
List_of_natural_disasters_by_death_toll
Well for me it is clear that some places should never had homes build, when they are completely destroyed after disasters.
Haiti issues
List_of_deadliest_aircraft_accidents_and_incidents
Air travel was supposedly the safest? Well clearly few crashes and 100 people dead almost every month now.
I don’t want to turn this section into another list, I will just put a few huge examples here.
Costa Concordia disaster – cruise ship
Rana_Plaza_collapse – building in cloth factory

Games🎮
I remember the time when games were just made well and sold and that was it. I miss that appoach, it should have stayed like this forever. It would be the humane, for people approach, not for profit.
Back then there were: no updates, no addons (DLCs), no cosmetics (useless, only visual changes), no purchases in games, no gambling, no battle passes or other incentives to addict people to play daily, no esports, no monthly payments, and no stories about addicting minors either.
At this point it is obvious to me that big companies do have a huge profit in addicting minors (teenagers).
Biggest games are just investments now, cost huge sums and are meant to be as long and profitable as possible. Games are now just platforms where players can (but should not) spend real money, on DLCs many made just for sake of profits, cometics changing only look of items
Also paired with gambling addiction (also to minors) video here, this brings the biggest profits (so far). Gambling happens every time when you don’t know the end result, it is random. We already know this ruins peoples lives by lotteries, slot machines, and lots of other ways. So it has been added to games too, making them shittier than ever.
Not everything is lost. There is an altenative here: FOSS games. We can’t really compare them to paid, huge AAA titles, or maybe even to paid indie titles, so they usually look worse, somewhat dated. But they come with Freedom to learn and modify them. Something that is illegal with commercial, paid copyrighted software. There is also way less FOSS games, because it requires people developing and creating for free, in their free time, for years. I have a list of favourite FOSS games. And I created and developed Stunt Rally (8 years total) for these very reasons, to make a well made FOSS free alternative.

Already in movies section under True Cost (2015)…🚧
Pets🐕..🚧
I’m pretty sure, no pet owner would like to agree or even read it. I already wrote about this in my addictions post. I will just boldly summarize this here. 🚧
Company Addictions
Well seems like each business now needs to nowadays also create an addiction or two. Of course for biggest profits. It’s not enough to create a well made, working product. It is best for companies to also addict customers, which is obviously worst for people and humanity. Big companies hired sociologists and psychologists to Either to company brand, or to buy their product(s), new model or design each year, etc.
This way, honestly, even creating a well made or working product isn’t needed at all. I’ve seen plenty of trash, garbage, useless crap on aliexpress and all other online shops, lots of..🚧
Hype, preorder…🚧
🚧
kickstarter, scams…🚧
🚧
Tier 4: Medium🟢
Biggest fraudster(s)💰
A noteworthy mention here, because of huge amounts of money burned into nothing, also lasting many years.
One of the richest and stupidest morons on Earth, Elon Musk. Perhaps he did some useful things in the past, but it gets completely shadowed by recent stupidity.
Here is a channel with videos showing truth about. E.g. about Tesla and biggest capital lost.
This also shows how stupid people are to allow this or follow him and his lies, simply to get nothing done while getting biggest sums of money for it and then get away with it.
Another video: Dumbest rebranding in History! Twitter – X
And other video about him and the president. Both biggest, retarded idiots of recent times. Also clearly voting is dead (probably since long too), as politics can be sponsored (bribed) to get elected, join goverment and then do favors (laws, less taxes etc) for the richest elite (MotherEarthF@ckers). And well if you put rich idiots into politics, you can expect more stupidity, nothing good will happen for humanity.
Space missions🚀…🚧
Moon, Mars etc. Bilions spent, instead of taking care of the planet and fixing its (previously caused) issues first.
🚧
Solar freaking roadways🛣️
Very ridiculous trend started like 15 or more years ago. Led by maybe not scammers but delusional people. Basically from and for idiots who only want to believe and can’t even do simple math, engineering or get engineers who figured it out.
Video here, explaining road is 4x more cost for half the energy output. First video of Dave talking about it, second.
It’s orders of magniture cheaper and easier to install solar panels on roofs or other places that don’t have them.
Even solar railways, with more dust and vibrations. Absolutely ridiculous idea and surely one of the worst ever (although the list is likely infinite).

Artificial Intelligence (AI)🤖..🚧
It is somewhat helpful but still a tool of big companies, to addict to services, pay and make people more stupid. Loose artists of jobs, make art less real. Also AI did train illegaly, accessing plenty of resources without respecting licenses. Now that it learned it won’t at all attribute works on which it trained. It was just a big scam on global scale while legal right were backwards like always.
AI just KILLED the music industry (the end is here) – explained how artist tell a story and AI does nothing more than generate ..🚧
Audiophile🔉
Also called audio foolery, eevblog topic. Oldest eevblog video Audiophile Audiophoolery.
Tons of retarded products (like cables, amps, even knobs) at very high prices that are supposed to be better than regular products. It’s a big scale industry of retarded companies selling to even more stupid but rich people, who will obviously fall for their crap and notice the difference since they payed so much and read or heard about their commercials with nonsense invented vocabulary for thing that don’t actually exist. Also a Placebo effect.
Video Busted: 13 common audiophile MYTHS
The DAC Scam – Almost everyone believes the hype – mostly all DACs have the same cheap DAC chip. Yet some retards can pay for a DAC an amount of money that would buy a house.
Is Hi-Res Audio A Scam? – about how people hear about 40 Hz to 18 kHz and anything fancy over 20 kHz is pointless. I agree.
Simply a scam to pay more. If albums were recorded at CD quality then anything more is just artificially made for profit.
It is okay to use e.g. 24-bit and 192 kHz if you record and process your audio, but for just listening made songs CD quality is enough.
Here also another similar audio topic video: White Van Speaker Scam Teardown. Basically a scam of sellers in a car or van, talking people to pay more for a bargain of some sort of supposedly super quality product but on occassion for cash. Even can have fake made magazines or brochures for it. In reality those are lowest possible quality products (very overpriced) that barely work and just were meant to look like high quality. Worst of all it isn’t even illegal mostly, since you can sell anything any any price even if all is fake or lied about quality etc.
Tier 5: Lesser🔵
This is the last tier in this list. Granted, some of it is rather minor. Possibly also random, since those are issues I noticed most in my life (e.g. keyboards because I use them constantly).
But for me these also shows how (stupid) issues stay for so long and aren’t likely (or at all) going to improve or change.
Languages🇮🇹🇪🇸
Still many languages used.
English seems to be good choice and easy learning for replacing other languages. It is spreading as second or additional language in some countries.
But generally even if so, this progress is very slow, if any. I don’t know how many 100s or 1000s of years it would take to unify whole Earth to know 1 common language. I do think the result would make things easier, but I also realize it is extremely costly (time, effort, money) and unlikely to happen.
I noticed also tiny issues e.g. the letter W is still said as double U. It’s really stupid for me, what’s more is that for so many years even, a small improvement for this didn’t happen. I’d either spell W as “woo” or “dub”, there problem solved. It’s just that the world doesn’t do improvements if they don’t make (huge) profits to commercial entities (like companies, governments, billionaires, people with power, etc).
Units SI / imperial📏
Still present on Earth we have 2 systems of units (measurements). The proper, logical one is SI, metric.
And there is still this IMO relict of stupidity (that never ended) being imperial. Which sounds just like a bunch of garbage units, with random related values. A relict of a mistake in history.
There has been an attempt in UK to move imperial to SI. I see it rather failed. It’s a pity, I’d imagine this as a needed transformation for whole world. Which after (surely huge) effort would eventually make things easier.
But as shown in video of someone trying and failing, the change is almost impossible. Everything would have to change at once, all places and schools teachings too.
Lastly an example of a Mars Climate Orbiter disaster which was due to this stupid reason of 2 unit systems existing.
There were also other issues/disasters, after a change of unit systems.
Daylight saving time🌖
Another thing, kind of similar to above, is the Daylight saving time.
Seems to make more trouble that benefit and even causes health issues for our bodies. But again it was made for maximizing profits, i.e. the last thing a human would need (especially those free living people who don’t need civilization at all and such stupid inventions).
Keyboards, layout⌨️
The most popular (English, US) layout QWERTY is IMO simply a history of human stupidity (sadly like almost all on Earth).
I learned about it (long ago) from a cool comic.
It started in mechanical typewriters. QWERTY was a result of an old issue of jamming keys. Fix was done the worst way, by separating letters we type often near. So it was made to be inefficient for people typing. Additionally first row in QWERTY has all letters from typewriter word. Now this is what I’d call stupidity at its best. A commercial, done by marketing or CEO idiots to promote sales, without any regard to users (and their health) of those products.
Even worse, it was fixed soon after. But producers were already selling plenty and didn’t want to change the layout. And this freaking stupidity lasts until now.
Then 30 years after, first Dvorak layout was invented using intelligence and logic for people to type better. There are many more layouts now e.g. Workman. It likely is used by people who know about it and care enough.
Next there are also ergonomic aspects, since the flat design with key rows on keyboard is rather hurtful for hands. There are many ergonomic keyboards e.g. Ergodox, Kinesis Advantage.
Sadly an ergonomic keyboard with better layout is something you can buy extra, it is not the default keyboard for PC or laptop. The default is still the stupidest thing ever made, the first working/selling version. Bad for health and typing and not ergonomic. It’s up to everyone to improve themself. at higher price or as DIY.

Mods, colors🌈…🚧
Car mods, lit PCs, keyboards, decorations, paints, events, sports, etc.
🚧
Emotions..🚧
The majority (or almost everything) is created around people’s emotions, or to act on them, not for reason or improvement.
It all exists because of those 90% who feel, sense and act upon emotions and feeling. There are huge industries (like sports, fashion, events, etc) that thrive on this (well IMO stupidity). These industries came to be because of emotions, and other applied business strategies based on and abusing people’s emotions.
For example: you don’t need to..🚧
➡️Summary⌛🟡
Here is a quick guide, a summary of key most important points of action I recommend every human to do, to get rid of stupidity and improve issues on Earth, not contiunue them. Of course I could write: do this, don’t do that, but I don’t like such approach, I’m not telling anyone what to do (and don’t like being told it either). Everyone is different and in different situation, also was in different at birth. Which could be forced by country, family, friends etc. Changing may not be possible even, could require significant efforts, or could mean leaving country, family, friends, city, etc.
So I am giving you my advice. It’s up to you. Obviously everyone has to check if this or that is working and improving as desired effect.
Since these statements are short and to the point, they still, unavidably could sound harsh or so.
🌐Global level
- 👥Overpopulation. There is already 10x more people on Earth than it can sustain. Many issues resulted (or intensified) from this like: introduced conflicts, wars, less resources, more pollution, etc. IMO anyone can have a better, even more meaningful life while not having children and helping others (instead of your new family). Having children is what brings companies and governments profits. Not having them means a lot less money needed and more time in life. But of course that’s the very unpopular way. If it was up to me, nobody would be allowed to have more than one child, and/or had to be already financially viable before.
- 🏦Goverments, politics are (the first ones) not to be trusted, at all. Especially now when corporations control goverments and lobby or bribe politicians. Of course there are exceptions, and improvements happening (e.g. by activists and movements).
- 💵Money is fake (and volatile), it’s not based on gold since a century. Inflation comes from printing more money.
We know about it since years (it’s e.g. in Money Socialism book, and well educated people understood it decades ago).
It is done on purpose and is slowly but surely stealing from everyone. I think all countries do this, and on purpose.
Printing money and giving loans is the governmets (central banks) way to enslave people to jobs, consumerism, and get more GDP or economic power, also national debts. Wars are partly a result of this too. - 💸Loans are bad, they fuel the above approach.
- 🤪Corporations are the global psychopaths of today. They do everything bad for humanity, only for their profit (e.g. lie, decit, disrespect people (even own workers, and our privacy), break law, pollute our planet, manipulate, even rule governments). We should get rid of them (and capitalism) and all the harm they do to our environment and society. We definitely should not be a fan of any big company and try to avoid using their products and services.
- 👗Fashion is a new name for planned obsolescence. It’s absolutely artificial (and not needed), was added to world by big companies, for profits. It causes serious world issues as shown in True Cost (2015) documentary. Namely: deaths, poor payments and living conditions in countries where people make cloths for little money, to be cheapest for big companies and consumers. There are big garbage areas (seen from space) with discarded cloths (would still be useful) just to sell new designs next week (fast fashion). Companies make consumers feel bad not having new, and throw out old, and addict them to buying frequently. A sickening business practice done way too often, since way too many years.
- ⛪Relligions are just another system of control and a waste of life time and money. Partly also connected to governments, or added by. Religions are for those who don’t fully believe in themselves, who need made up traditions, thousands of years old, started way before science. Religions also work by abusing children, addicting people, social coercion and telling people how to live (as slaves of religion and fear).
The solution to religions is atheism. It gives people (and their children) freedom from all of that (e.g. repeated praying and other religious activities).
But also tolerance is important. Religions take decades (or centuries) to fade out, and for some people it is already too late (to even let doubts and logical thoughts against them). - ❌Prisons do not work, those don’t help people. Best visible in U.S. (which privatize prisons), they give commercial entities a way to enslave people to unpaid work (forced labour). And if not that, they are simply a way to lock people instead of helping them directly. Surely the cheapest way of dealing with problems (crime), not a way of solving it in the best (but costly) way (by e.g. better education, better paid jobs or other alternatives for those who get into crime instead).
- 🏫Education and 🏥medical care should be free of charge. If a country forces you into debt or tells have to pay for any, I recommend finding and moving to a better country (better for people not for companies).
It’d be also great if this meant elderly people care, without huge own costs. - ®️Patents are artificial and wrong. Meant for profits and resulting in human stupidity. All knowledge should be available free, e.g. with attribution to authors, like CC-BY licenses require. Freedom is best visible, already working in Free Software (FOSS) and Open Source Hardware (OSH).
- ©️Copyright is artificial. Copying is like the easiest operation to do with data on PC or other device.
Piracy is a dumb term trying to make illegal copying sound like a barbaric crime of piracy when it was common between ships. - 📱Smartphones are especially bad for young and unexperienced. They are by default for showing commercials, spreading games and social media and come with many preinstalled bloatware softwares. Many of which aren’t necessary, most of the time or at all. These devices addict way too many young people when they could (normally as before) think about something in life instead of watching mostly entertaining or just dumb content.
👤Personal level
- 📉Never having loans or debt to pay is the best approach.
If you don’t have the money now, to pay the price – you can’t afford it. - 📈Investing money is crucial so the constant inflation doesn’t loose it. Saving money is most important, not spending (to avoid consumerism and gambling). Financial freedom (Financial independence) is the end goal here.
- 📺Commercials are the culmination of human stupidity. Annoying and distracting, lies and idiotic situations or stements (at IQ level of kids) meant for profits only.
Commercials are also the state propaganda. It is a huge issue, and consumerism fuel, also causing more stupidity.
Avoiding them is key. For me also mocking them is (optional but) a natural reaction.
When browsing internet (you can avoid most of commercials) by using uBlock Origin, and also other privacy focused addons.
It’s rather hard to avoid outside and In cities, but we can try to avoid cities. There are also health benefits in this approach (less polution, distraction, noise, stress, places to spend money, etc.). - 🛍️Anti-consumerism (no overconsumption) and minimalism, are the right ways.
This means buyng wisely, only when needed, at fair price,
minimalism, simple_living, frugality (e.g. r/frugal reddit), etc are solutions for life.
Reducing to minimum e.g. number of cloths you have, and all other things you buy, especially for entertainment which can be done to some degree freely. Not getting addicted to collecting things.
Wisely being able to buy, sell and repair or modify when needed. E.g. cloths, furniture, etc.
Avoid fashion (like fire), you only need to buy new cloths when the previous are worn off, after like 10 or more years. And you don’t need more than about 33 items. - 🛠️”Do it yourself” (DIY) is my key recommendation for everything that you can. Especially making food. For me (in IT) also electrionics and software. DIY could also mean house repairs or even building it whole yourself. Free living people can do it all by themselves in life, why should we be slaves of companies doing almost all for us and then working also for them. Obviously in modern life there is little that could be done fully yourself, but the more we can, the more freedom we have and useful skills.
- 📚Self education. People need knowledge, reason and logic. Likely not everyone can think and learn faster like the rare, most intelligent types: INTP, INTJ. Higher IQ people learn easier and handle real life issues better. Much depends on personality and available resources, also HDI of country and language used. I highly recommend learning English and using free learning resources on internet too (at least possible to do in IT or other jobs using PC).
For me it’s key to learn our whole lifes. Always learning from mistakes (not repeating them), and best/cheaper from others mistakes. The moment we stop learning (about everything we do or need to) is when we become complete slaves of others. - 📑Investing in yourself is the main priority in life. I also recommend learning the most needed, useful skills (in life) and self improvement category of books/videos.
I recommend mmm blog and discomfortacademy, likely there are others. - Take care of your health first. This also means avoiding bad food and making your own healthy meals.🚧
- 🔍Focus. Getting rid of distractions is also important. Especially in a world full of commercials, addiction fueled attractions (games etc, even real money gambling is now added to games by most), social media and all arguing, or fighting for artificially created topics like politics, new pronouns, body building, and countless other.
- 🧹Cleaning is a skill everyone should learn and use. So make it all tidy and organized in both: your living place and your mind.
- FOSS. Using Free and Open Source Software and Open Hardware for every purpose whenever possible.
Commercial software and hardware work like slavery, means lack of privacy, is addicting people, making them stupider by not allowing to learn from sources (how it was made). I recommend moving to Linux (that page also lists and links more issues from huge closed software companies). - 🐕People should get rid of pets from their lifes. We don’t need living animal slaves, bred for emotional support and others profits.
All who don’t have a medical condition (e.g. requiring a dog for support) – don’t need a pet.
People can do more for each other if they don’t feed pets and waste time caring for them.
Personally (as an INTJ) I also find them annoying to hear everytime, reminding me of still weak, addicted people who can’t live without a dog, etc. - 🚸Kids.
IMO the last thing the world needs is more people (enslaved to the system, and from government’s point of view just tax payers). We need smarter people. So human quality over quantity. With current overpopulation, IMO no one should be allowed more than 1 child.
I think the world is too broken to rise children into it. Too: corrupt, sick with money poisoning (capitalism), consumerism, polluted. It needs fixing first. Climate change won’t stop for like 50 years. With uncontrolled, unlimited population, progressing nature/forest depletion, pollution, water/food shortages, more extreme weather, etc. the living conditions are bad and will get worse.
I would recommend everyone reading this page fully, before having child(ren). Just to know well, what kind of world you’d be forcing your child(ren) to live in, even worse in future. OFC it depends where you look (the rich don’t look (enough) at poor) or live.
Kids are born infinitely stupid (with no knowledge), it takes 20 (or 30) years for them to learn. The earlier in life people have a child (if they do), the stupider the world gets (IQ average drops), also parents have less time to learn.
But well, it’s like with pets, most feeling people just need to have them. Also religions likely dicate it.
If you don’t have financial freedom already, when having a child, or don’t realize the cost (about 200 000$ needed to rise 1 child) then you’re just taking a (uneducated) leap of faith, and agreeing to be a slave of job(s) and the system for 20 or so years (and raising a child is an extra job for your child). Lastly when having a child you’ll get just a random personality type (can’t choose e.g. *NT*) and other traits. - ⚖️You can’t trust anyone, even yourself. You need to verify actions (for desired result) and check for truth. There are plenty of lies, misinformation, manipulations, froads, scams. Some just for personal benefits others paid to bring more profits. And some just because of people being stupid.
As for personal trust, you can e.g. write down your goals, measure progress, test if you realize them, prioritize, split to smaller tasks. - A few of those “old times” words that I do avoid in my life are:
luck, hope, patriotism, faith, believe, honor, pride, superstition, guess, lie, tradition, religion, sport.🚧 - Emotions. As an INTJ I realize those are chemicals in my brain that cloud your judgement, disturb thinking, and make it harder to make logical and reasonable decisions. But there are many (16) personalities and everyone has some emotions, most ..🚧
