"When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him." - Jonathan Swift
"Never argue with stupid people. They'll drag you down to their level..." - Mark Twain
This is a book about stupid people. Dunces are everywhere. They are infecting the world with their ignorance, their irrationalism, their illogic. They are blocking human evolution. There is no more pressing question for smart people than what to do about the idiots. The intelligent cannot succeed while the unintelligent are wrecking everything, dragging everything down to the lowest common denominator, manically racing to the bottom.
