The Stupidest Thing

I was thinking of this reference Mozilla, but itโ€™s generally true. For me, avoiding doing the stupidest thing possible is usually fairly easy, but it seems really very difficult at crucial times for most organizations and people. I wonder why?

Often, I donโ€™t do the smartest thing, or the cleverest, but at least I avoid doing the absolute most harebrained action possible. But it seems a huge attractor to many. It was for Mozilla and so many others. This is also something else I am thinking about a lot lately.
