Suspending disbelief for a moment, and taking this seriously ... I take issue with the following statement: > A stupid person is more dangerous than a bandit. Sometimes, perhaps. However, a bandit, by his gain, can give himself more resources with which to continue his banditry. A stupid person, on the other hand, will tend to deprive himself of resources. For example, I decide I want to be nasty. I'll drive around town and siphon gasoline out of people's cars. As a bandit, I might put this gas in my tank, thus enabling me to drive on to the next victim. I'm not a perfect bandit, since it cost me some gas to get to my victim, and so the total amount of available gasoline in the world is reduced by my actions, but I do gain somewhat. On the other hand, as a stupid person, I might simply dump the siphoned gas on the ground. And eventually, I run out of gas, making it more difficult for me to victimize others. (Okay, I'll stop taking it seriously now.)
