Racism Sexism
Smart people can be and often are racist and sexist too. They are better at justifying it too. Scientific racism is an existing pseudoscience.
Smart people don’t do that, otherwise they wouldn’t be smart
Fair point. I stand corrected
I hear your point, but they are not that smart if they think skin color determines the value of a human. Same for sex.
This is a good definition of smart. Agreed.

“I’m with stupid” shirts
Probably a whole bunch of us. Stupidity may result in unwanted and/or unplanned pregnancies.
Dealer add-ons at a car dealership.
They can be good negotiating points, though. Often, they will reduce the price of the vehicle more than the cost of the add on because they make more profit on the add-on than the difference in price of the car. And often the add-ons are preinstalled, so they have to give them to you anyway. Not true for all brands or dealers, but works for some.
With my last car there was a windshield coating, leather seat coating and bumpers on the door edges. After getting them nearly at the price I wanted, I told them I’d buy the seat coating if they’d lower the price another thousand below my previous price. The windshield coating and bumpers were also on the car when I finally got it. But I didn’t get the warranty on them, of course.
Something like this happened to me. I ended up buying an extended warranty that I didn’t really want, but it was because I insisted that I’m not going to pay MSRP for this vehicle. They knocked off a couple grand, and I spent as much on the warranty. At least I got something for the money.
Well I also did get the warrantee on the seats, though I never needed to use it.
Lotteries. If people understood odds they’d never buy a ticket, or at least not in the numbers they do.
Lotteries are a tax on hope, not stupidity.
I’ve always heard they were a way to recoup tax funding from people below the tax-paying bracket, because they’d be the ones desperate enough to go for it.
…which is seemingly more and more at the way we love our income inequality…
You have a better chance of literally being Brad Pitt than you do if winning the lottery.
