"Stupido è chi lo stupido fa" diceva con incrollabile candore Forrest Gump. Per Carlo M. Cipolla invece gli stupidi esistono davvero: sono una categoria di persone dalle caratteristiche inconfondibili e incorreggibili sulle quali si è divertito a infierire nel suo libro cult "Allegro ma non troppo".

Purtroppo, sostiene Paolo Legrenzi, la stupidità non è assenza di intelligenza e può colpire chiunque - a determinate condizioni - anche le persone dotate di un quoziente di intelligenza superiore.

I first encountered the mystical logic of Nicholas of Cusa when I read S.L. Frank's magnificent (and underappreciated) volume, The Unknowable. I was both mesmerized and haunted by Cusa's koan-like summation of his philosophy when he wrote, "The unattainable is attained by its unattainment." As Socrates and other mystic-philosophers before him, Nicholas of Cusa had realized through mathematics and geometry that infinity cannot be comprehended by that which is finite.

Questi uomini hanno privato il popolo tedesco di tutte quelle dignità e libertà da noi ritenute naturali in ogni essere umano, ricompensandolo attraverso l'incitamento all'odio verso quanti ritenuti dei capri espiatori.
