Terminally Stupid

1. A person who is so stupid that they will obviously die of misadventure rather than old age.

2. An act performed by a person that is so stupid that the only way to survive is by an act of god.

1. "Johnny is wanting to jump out of an airplane without a parachute and land in a hay stack. Man, he is terminally stupid!"

2 "Billy tried to jump over a moving car. He's in intensive care now. That was a terminally stupid thing to try."

Terminal Stupidity - The combination of three factors: Lack of knowledge, lack of wisdom, and lack of concern, that endangers the lives of individuals afflicted with the condition, or those around them.

All three factors must continue for a substantial period of time for an individual to be considered "terminally stupid." The condition is often characterized by the attitude contained in this phrase: "I don't know, it don't matter, and I don't have to care."

Terminal stupidity is NOT a natural condition. It is a condition chosen by an individual, group, or corporation - but it is not a permanent flaw.

If the afflicted person or group can be educated with facts; OR,
If the afflicted person or group can be informed by wisdom and experience; OR,
If the afflicted person or group can be made to understand how a specific situation or decision does, in fact, concern them;

THEN... They are not terminally stupid.

Simply being ignorant, inexperienced/unwise, or arrogant/hubristic (uneducated/uninformed, unwise, or uncaring) does not make someone terminally stupid.

All three conditions MUST be met.

"Those corporate fuckers are terminally stupid! Someone's gonna die thanks to their terminal stupidity!"

"That crazy hippie wannabe is terminally stupid, tying himself to the top of that tree. He's gonna end up dead that way."

"Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and George W. Bush were terminally stupid in deciding to go to war in Iraq."

Terminal Stupid

A rare and uncurable disease of the brainmatter. It is thought to affect reasoning skills and is often a death sentence for those diagnosed. While scientists aren’t sure what causes it, it’s thought to be some combination of watching anime and actively searching up yaoi and other forms of nsfw material relating to anime.

Person one: “I just watched Ladybird. It was a really good movie and I think the characters were written very well.”
Person two: “Have you ever played MysticMessenger?”
Person one: “No way. If I did that I’d catch the Terminal Stupid.”
