The Asymmetry Corollary: While the upside of intelligence is bounded (there are limits to how much good a smart decision can create), the downside of stupidity is unbounded (there is no theoretical limit to how much damage a stupid decision can cause).

Maximum Stupidity is when the least competent have the most influence, creating an "ignorance-influence gap."

The Principle of Maximum Stupidity:
states that in any system where human decision-making occurs, the potential for damage is maximized when actors combine the highest degree of ignorance with the greatest capacity for action, creating an unbounded downside risk that approaches infinity.

This is one of the most unintentionally insulting academic articles I have ever read.
It opens with this gem of a line, and then it notes that men are less likely to talk to mental health providers. But it never manages to connect this assumption to that reaction.
