Confident people typically exude intelligence, grace, and sometimes wealth. When wielded properly, confidence can be a key weapon in any well-read person's arsenal. However, in the hands of someone with less-than-average intelligence, overt confidence can be excruciating.

Stupid people have always existed in society. And with the wind of the Internet at their backs, they sail the Web with confidence, unchecked facts, and unbridled free speech as a platform for their voice. In the modern age, the village idiot is not confined to the hut at the edge of town, uselessly spinning straw between their teeth as they babble nonsensical musings to themselves. No, no… The modern idiot is louder than ever, screaming at the rooftops of a worldwide platform that we all observe.

Now the village idiots can take their incorrectness global, confidently posting whatever they want and whatever they think on the inter-webs for all of us to chuckle at. So join me, my intelligent friends, to gawk at the musings of the most confidently incorrect people in our world, who always seem to have the strongest Wifi connection.
