Have you ever yearned for the perfect excuse after you said or did something stupid?
If you never have, I have a fridge at the South Pole that needs a new owner.
For all the others, science may offer the solution, with one catch: you should be poor and have money worries.
Do a search for the psychological study everybody is talking about, which shows that your measured IQ goes down if you are down and out. Now, we noticed we have lost some of our ability to perform a good internet search, without doubt due to this drop in mental ability.
The effort put into excluding a bunch of other factors seems extremely well conceived, lending more credibility to the study.
Any criticism you would like to level at any of the six hundred plus posts of the blog is thus negated by our money worries.
For current or future authoritarian rulers, this is great news. Keep vast numbers of your people poor and get dual benefits: the riches for you and your cronies and, at the same time, you reduce the intellectual capabilities of the poor, thereby reducing the chance of a well planned successful revolt.
