(click on highlighted texts for definitions of  'Bozo' and 'Nincompoop')&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nincompoopian thought  is very much like 'Bozo-ism' and that similarity is  a cause of concern.  The ideologies, virus like,  are  able to use  each other arriving at a mutual advantage which has the tendency to affect the host negatively in the overwhelming majority of  cases. The virus / parasite  host analogy is an appropriate metaphor within which to approach  this  topic.  Both Nincompoops and Bozos are understood by political scientists as something  resembling evolutionarily transmitted memes that have become cancerous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bozo-ism is  a way  of  doing  things  that appears  to  have  no  relationship to  the  thing needed being  done.  The outcome is perceived as generally harmful  or at best ineffective.  Only 2% of Bozo inspired  activities are  considered positive by those experiencing the application  of  Bozoistic  principles. The same statistical graph can be spoken of concerning  Nincompoops. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There  is  an  alarming  statistical relationship predicted in the emergence of Bozoism in that it requires, like a  natural law, a rise in Ninconpoopism.  The  two exist in a  virus host environment. They live off of each other. It  has  not been determined  which  is the virus and which is the host.  The problem  is concerned  with the  phenomenon involving both schools of thought that  at any time  one can be either.  This  makes it difficult  for  political scientists to label the concepts being placed into practice.  A Nincompoopian may  one day be  labeled a  Bozo and the  next day a Nincompoop. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So far world governments appear to be a heady mix  of  Bozoists  and Nincompoopians.  What  this  means  for  the  future  of mankind / womankind is  uncertain.  Psychologists have  expressed  concern that  if a peak in Bozoism and Nincompoopism does occur the  public mind will be disturbed, unable to understand  what it  is that is  transpiring before there eyes and need to be  medicated.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It  may be  just  a  blip.  But  if  the trend  continues this  could bode darkness not seen since the  10th century and an ensuing epidemic of  mass stupidity eclipsing anything this  world has  ever seen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks  to  those  whose  links  I referred to. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thefreedictionary.com/nincompoop"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  free  dictionary&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Main_Page"&gt;Wiktionary &lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30535317-5551159141074136108?l=gitmosguerillajournalism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gitmosguerillajournalism.blogspot.com/feeds/5551159141074136108/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30535317&amp;postID=5551159141074136108&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30535317/posts/default/5551159141074136108'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30535317/posts/default/5551159141074136108'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gitmosguerillajournalism.blogspot.com/2010/05/introduction-to-bozoism-and-its.html' title='An Introduction To Bozoism  and It&apos;s Relationship to Nincompoopian Thought'/><author><name>The Shaman</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_lKWWNfZl7c4/R3d5Pg3X1OI/AAAAAAAAAV4/cc_7KWwWudc/S220/The+colors+IMG_5079+A.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
