I totally agree incompetence exists in the world, and totally agree it can be frustrating to observe or deal with. If the article had been titled "Brotherhood of Incompetence" I might have reacted differently. Even so, I find the author's stance to be off-putting. They write > The first kind reads about "stupid people" and laughs. And then go on to suggest that this is the "wrong" reaction, that stupid behavior is an insidious societal ill that should be treated with grave seriousness (obviously I'm exaggerating the author's words a bit). I find that laughing about circumstances which are both 1) outside your control, and 2) annoying is a much better response than stewing in my negative emotions and blaming the world for being incompetent. Better for my personal health, and better for those around me in that I'm not so bitter and unpleasant. All that said, I love your closing line > That doesn't make them any less deserving of love and care, but they are still (with no negative sentiment or judgement intended) incompetent. This aligns very much with my personal perspective.
