#### The human race: Stupid or not?

In my point of view, human society is an overreactive, gullible, idiotic, hypocritical, bigostic thing. For example, people think that being stupidly scared of something isn't good, yet most people have a stupid fear of swear words. And people easily believe things, even when they don't really have a good reason to.
One of the big reasons why those huge companies are rich is because they rely on human stupidity. They trick our society into believing something stupid so they can get more money. Here's an example: http://www.questioncopyright.org/nyu_note_on_illegal_downloading

We are stupid. But then, define stupid? Humans define stupid, so if we are stupid, what is smart?
Damn, I gone and confuzzled myself ;D

A smart person is someone who does stuff right like meh. I think that the human race can be very stupid. EX. Al Gore or Hillary Clinton

Yes but, correct me if I'm wrong, humans run those companies. Making those people smart and ergo making it so the entire human race is not stupid.

The human race is smarter than all the other species on Earth combined.

Well humans are the dominant on THIS PLANET, EARTH, not in the universe, if there are aliens, which there is, they are/will be smarter than us.

So which species of animal, plant, fungus, or bacterium is smarter than us?
Edit: No, dolphins aren't.

If 'stupid' in this case means 'not very clever', then no.
If it doesn't, then, in a stereotypical view of the whole species, yes.

just because we're smarter than everything else doesn't nesscerily mean that we're smart. I'm with Kyouki on this one.

Obviously, with that logic, it applys to you.
If a dog is counted as smart for sitting down, we are obviously smart.
Smart is always relative to something. If you compare a smart person with a genius, the smart person is stupid, but they are smart because they are usually compaired to stupid people. The same applies to being stupid.
WTF ARE YOU COMPARING HUMANS TO?
