Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.

Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved - indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.

Some weirdness from the 80s

"It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."

Hebb’s song had actually been written in 1963, after John F Kennedy and then Hebb’s brother Harold were murdered on consecutive days. He felt the world — and perhaps he himself — needed a little cheer, and wrote a song to serve that purpose.

HA! Good Fun!

Not bad, considering half the crap I listen to I'm in no place to judge. Really awakens the latent urge to be a jihadi in every man.

Almost operatic in presentation.

"It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."

There's this guy on YT - Todd in the Shadows -with a lot of "one hit wonder" song breakdown/analysis videos. Guess he's been around a while/fairly popular, but I only noticed him the other week (when the almighty YT algorithm finally decided I might be interested, I suppose). Watched quite a few, hits the nostalgia vibes most of the time. Saw this one re: Barbie Girl, which made me wonder about the silly lip-synch vid that probably introduced me to that darn song. It's still on YT, too. 19 years. Sheesh. The days when ppl just randomly uploaded stupid stuff for giggles and it wasn't all "subscribe, hit that bell, sponsor" and MrBeast-like thumbnails. I kinda miss those days. Kinda.

Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe. 

One hit wonder from back in the day

No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.
