excerpt from Calvin Tomkins' diary CENTENARIAN of a simultaneous hundredth year for him and the New Yorker Magazine, issue of 22 December 2025  [a highly recommended piece]

March 29th

Much attention these days is paid to the benefits and the dangers of artificial intelligence (A.I.), but hardly any is paid to what I call artificial stupidity (A.S.). Donald Trump has made remarkably effective use of A.S. Even Trump can’t possibly believe that he can make Canada our fifty-first state. The whole idea is too absurd to take seriously, but Trump’s repeated references to it add to the chaos and uncertainty that shroud his more sordid activities, such as attacks on the rule of law.

Artificial stupidity means deciding to believe something that has no basis in fact, logic, or common sense. When I started using the phrase, a year ago, it was sort of a joke, but the breakdown of trust in our government and our social institutions which paved the way to Trump’s second term has made it all too serious.
