Corollary: Intelligence adds but stupidity multiplies. Corollary: Reverse evolution is the new norm.Only luck can save one from one's own stupidity.Only idiots regard a second chance the same as the first.The higher the IQ, the greater the chance of self-deception.Still waters are often shallow puddles.
