The Stillbirth of Logic and an Illogical Rule Explained

The title of this column refers to my 80-20 rule, a percentage-explained ratio of non-reasonable humans to reasonable humans. This is my own estimate so as such is not entirely scientific but based on my extensive reading, listening, and watching, and my ideals, philosophies, opinions, and experiences. Therefore, the name is subject to debate and change as I change.

The purpose of this editorial column is to discuss everyday topics from minutiae to world events. To vent. To begin work on an updated and expanded Ten Commandments. To discuss art. The importance or lack thereof of grammar. How to propagandize valid and quality logical thinking to more people. To narrow the focus of this column. To discuss art and philosophy, economics and politics. To determine an acceptable model for premises that are as fact-based and devoid of emotion as possible.

The posts and replies should bear in mind the umbrella concept of humanity's overwhelming and possibly unnecessary stupidity.

Which begs the question, what is "Stupidity" in relation to this column? A lack of reason, either complete or in too much part is where I will start. Hopefully post Number 2 will follow with an expansion of this introduction or a specific topic under the rubric of MY 80-20 rule.
