artificial intellegance is no match for natural stupidity

Stupidity was as necessary as intelligence, and as difficult to attain.

Intelligence and infinite knowledge were not, it seemed, compatible with stable human existence.

Human intelligence was more trouble than it was worth. It was more destructive than creative, more confusing than revealing, more discouraging than satisfying, more spiteful than charitable.

That is the most stupid thing yet. I tell you that I could despair of human intelligence when I see what can exist in men’s minds.

In view of the fact that God limited the intelligence of man, it seems unfair that he did not also limit his stupidity.

Technology does not always equal progress.

That technics has often lagged behind culture, that the efficiency of the assembly line, for example, might be, humanly speaking, a mark of social backwardness, seems never to have occurred to the exponents of unqualified technological progress.

Once intelligent beings achieve technology and the capacity for self-destruction of their species, the selective advantage of intelligence becomes more uncertain.

Technology is dangerous."
"How do you mean?"
"It can provide horrendous weapons to idiots.

Few debates in the history of science have been conducted with such stupidity as the one about intelligence.

The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

No intelligent idea can gain general acceptance unless some stupidity is mixed in with it.

Advanced technology is great at tasks such as keeping an airliner flying several thousand feet in the air, but is easily crippled by social complications.
