Have you, your family, business, or society ever suffered the effects of a stupid person? Not someone merely uneducated, or clumsy, or hateful-but someone truly, incredibly stupid, who hurts others or damages things with no apparent purpose or benefit to themselves. Good News! Scientists have learned how to precisely numerically, measure human stupidity and discovered how to predict it and thwart it! Students will learn the history of Human Stupidity, and using only basic arithmetic how to manage and prevent the almost incredible potential for damage stupid people present to their professional and personal lives. Students will be provided a stupidity measurement toll and instructed in its use at work and home for detection and management. Students must bring their own sense of optimism to class.
