Yes, the Critical Theory department at Occidental College is offering course 180. STUPIDITY.
The course description claims stupidity to be “those operations and technologies that we conduct in order to render ourselves uncomprehending…the double of intelligence rather than its opposite.” Stupidity has been redefined and “dumbed down,” the department says, and can be “felt in political life ranging from the presidency to Beevis and Butthead.”
Interestingly, “Beavis” has been misspelled in the Stupidity course description. Was this intentional, maybe just to see who’s paying attention? Or is the show really too stupid to be thoroughly analyized by the department? Wait, that wouldn’t count as stupidity either since they’re looking at it from a philosophical perspective.

What I desire to know is why I should care? I mean, not to express that what youve obtained to express isnt crucial, but I mean, its so generic. Everyones referring to this man. Give us some thing much more, anything that we can get behind so we can experience as passionately about this as you do.
