Exploring the roots of stupidity: first understand the psychology of what lies behind irrational opinions

Most people, at one time or another, act foolishly. However, truly ignorant individuals exhibit a lack of introspection and stubbornly cling to their opinions, regardless of how irrational they may be. These people demonstrate unwavering self-assurance and are often oblivious to their own inadequacies. They craft retrospective justifications to validate their beliefs and hold onto them.

Labour to release more than 5,000 prisoners early within months

More than 5,000 prisoners will be released early in September and October to tackle the overcrowding crisis, the Justice Secretary disclosed on Thursday.

Shabana Mahmood said she had no option but to free the 5,500 prisoners over the two months as the jails would be overflowing by September at the current rate.

Her announcement in the Commons came after the Ministry of Justice introduced legislation on Wednesday for the early release scheme under which thousands of criminals will serve just 40 per cent of their sentences rather than being freed at the halfway point.

Plan to release prisoners early will put public at risk, says Braverman

Labourโ€™s plan to release thousands of prisoners early will put the public โ€œat riskโ€, Suella Braverman has said.

The former home secretary claimed the scheme to ease overcrowding was similar to one she had managed to stop during Rishi Sunakโ€™s premiership.

โ€œWith 40 MPs, I tabled amendments to the Sentencing Bill to stop the early release of criminals and put public safety first,โ€ she wrote on X, formerly Twitter. โ€œWe managed to stop the government doing it. Labour is picking up Tory ideas and putting the public at risk.โ€

Females Purchase Firearms in Increasing Numbers

Women are becoming an increasing percentage of firearms owners. Gun ownership is no longer male-dominated. One study suggests that, in recent years, nearly half of all new gun sales have been to women. In addition, it is estimated that women now represent 42% of American gun owners, and that number increases with every passing year.
