First things first, how do you identify if something is an Idiocy?
Here are the questions that you can use as Litmus Tests to expose human activities that are Idiocies.
If it turns out to be “Probably not an Idiocy” -> Then it has passed the “Idiocy Litmus Test” and we could consider that activity harmless or even beneficial to Humanity & Society.
If it turns out to be “Most probably it’s an Idiocy” -> Then it fails the “Idiocy Litmus Test” and most likely, that activity is a waste of human life potential and time, because it will not only be “not beneficial” to Humanity & Society but rather will be harmful and hampering to the wellbeing and thriving of Humanity.
