Yes, but is every person you think is stupid, actually stupid? Do they actually lack intelligence? Are they reacting to something they see, that you do not?
The whole point is to understand the context and look for solutions. Not just dismiss people you don’t like or don’t want to deal with by labeling them as stupid or lazy.
If you’ve exhausted the other options or ways to approach the problem, perhaps stupid is the explanation.
The classic Hanlon's razor is "Don't attribute to malice what which is adequately explained by stupidity."
I like the variations that take it one step further, "Don't attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by ignorance", and "Don't attribute to ignorance that which is adequately explained by bad luck."
>> "Don't attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by ignorance from your part
+1 for this. Techy types are too quick to judge others as "idiots". And yet, the same type of people will get very outraged when others or their boss does the same to them
> Techy types are too quick to judge others as "idiots".
I wouldn't say too quick, probably just quick. Have you thought about that why that is ?
My running theory is that because people and skills in the tech industry have historically been discredited, they have developed a distaste for people who can't "deal with this computer shit".
