Am I the only one that thinks our species is completely stupid?

We have the greatest capacity to do anything out of any species on this planet.. and yet we use all of our brains power to wiggle out bodies around in idiotic form called twerking..Whenever I see ppl trying to show off in any way.. As in Twerking, Fighting, Talking gangster.. and the list goes on and on.. I feel like the stupid people of the earth are preventing what could be paradise on earth.. What can be done to wake up all these mentally challenged people and teach them to use their brain?

    I agree with you...but stupidity is rampant. That's why evolution is such a slow,painful process.

    Nothing can be done except be patient,work for the best,and hope they don't kill us all.

    Don't think they're stupid, petty them, usually these people are sarounded in a VERY tough environment and survival instinct kicks in so they only talk like this to defend them selves, both psychologically and physically...

    It's not them, the little people who make the world apear as you look at it at the moment, but the media, who only shows deaths all the time, and crime and fighting, that causes people to be scared, and act the way they do, they are not to be blamed.

    If the media was to focus more on good deeds (which are more boring than crime and death) than the world would be a MUCH better place, without fear, and with love and respect to each human, and people (not you) would not judge other people by their race or skin colour.

    Did you know that there is a big decline in crime these days in USA, yet people believe crime rate has actually gone up, due to the emphasis the media gives crime and death.

    Also there are many shows that show that being "gangsta" or "tough" is cool, instead of showing compasion and love, which is "boring" sadly.

    Take care pal. :)

    There are over 7 billion people in the world and a handful of people who were unfortunately born with a smaller brain twerking need not be paid attention to. Stupid is stupid does.

    I don't understand what you mean by the "greatest capacity to do anything out of any species on this planet" because what can we do? What are we capable of? and If so, why aren't you doing so?

    and I get it, there are many uneducated and ignorant people in this world but sometimes, it is easier to enjoy the little things in life than face reality. We are all going to die anyway and so far, you are not going to get up one day and prove God's existence etc. Enjoy it while you can. Live a little. and Stop being so ignorant and close minded.

    Most of us are stupid in one way or another but we have great potentials.

    A professor Michio Kaku once said. A lot will be determined in the next 100 years.

    We will either fall or reach a potential far beyond our imagination.
