Beevis, Butthead & a Class in Stupidity….Seriously

We all know that college courses aren’t all created equal.  Some are easy A’s, while others will keep you up all night wondering why you ever decided to take them.  With the college course descriptions as a guide, you will be tasked with putting the together the perfect schedule.  We’ve seen some weird classes offered when flipping through various course guides (i.e. Teaching Golf, Cyberfeminism and others), but we think a class offered by Occidental College in Los Angeles may take the prize.  Check it out:

“180. STUPIDITY.

Stupidity is neither ignorance nor organicity, but rather, a corollary of knowing and an element of normalcy, the double of intelligence rather than its opposite. It is an artifact of our nature as finite beings and one of the most powerful determinants of human destiny. Stupidity is always the name of the Other, and it is the sign of the feminine. This course in Critical Psychology follows the work of Friedrich Nietzsche, Gilles Deleuze, and most recently, Avital Ronell, in a philosophical examination of those operations and technologies that we conduct in order to render ourselves uncomprehending. Stupidity, which has been evicted from the philosophical premises and dumbed down by psychometric psychology, has returned in the postmodern discourse against Nation, Self, and Truth and makes itself felt in political life ranging from the presidency to Beavis and Butthead. This course examines stupidity.”
