Stupidity sets out to determine whether our culture is hooked on deliberate ignorance as a strategy for success. From Adam Sandler to George W. Bush, from the IQ test to TV programming, to the origins of the word moron, Stupidity examines the "dumbing down" of contemporary culture.

Stupidity careens at warp speed through sound bites on topics from television news and reality TV shows, to Internet sites and popular films. Featuring opinions and comments from some of today's most recognizable figures, cultural critics, authors and academics, including John Cleese, Noam Chomsky, Selma Hayek and Bill Maher, Stupidity reveals that, despite our culture's extensive access to knowledge and information, humans continue to choose stupidity."</content><link rel='related' href='http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2599954293614654567' title='Stupidity by Albert Nerenberg'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://contrastupidos.blogspot.com/feeds/4297468584436671587/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6455050926727842436&amp;postID=4297468584436671587' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6455050926727842436/posts/default/4297468584436671587'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6455050926727842436/posts/default/4297468584436671587'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://contrastupidos.blogspot.com/2008/11/stupidity-by-albert-nerenberg.html' title='Stupidity by Albert Nerenberg'/><author><name>Fitz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17305008534867450699</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6455050926727842436.post-4712955459654398019</id><published>2008-09-09T21:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-09T21:26:00.339-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Episode 00: When the Waters Changed</title><content type='html'>Using a story associated with Dhul Nun we begin what (hopefully) will be a sucessful test of my podcasting skills.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.enemyonbothsides.com/Podcasts/Contra/Contra00-00.mp3"&gt;Download the MP3 of this Show&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://contrastupidos.blogspot.com/feeds/4712955459654398019/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6455050926727842436&amp;postID=4712955459654398019' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6455050926727842436/posts/default/4712955459654398019'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6455050926727842436/posts/default/4712955459654398019'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://contrastupidos.blogspot.com/2008/09/episode-00-when-waters-changed.html' title='Episode 00: When the Waters Changed'/><author><name>Fitz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17305008534867450699</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6455050926727842436.post-6246915695256673666</id><published>2008-03-12T14:11:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-12T14:11:53.955-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Like Laying Down in the Gutter</title><content type='html'>This is a little piece of Intellectual Property Squatting as a precursor to a new project to begin towards the end of the month.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://contrastupidos.blogspot.com/feeds/6246915695256673666/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6455050926727842436&amp;postID=6246915695256673666' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6455050926727842436/posts/default/6246915695256673666'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6455050926727842436/posts/default/6246915695256673666'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://contrastupidos.blogspot.com/2008/03/like-laying-down-in-gutter.html' title='Like Laying Down in the Gutter'/><author><name>Fitz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17305008534867450699</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
