   It somehow generalizes that people that generalize are idiots. That's true but it than logically explains this completely true statement, something a real generalization is never able to do so the quote is basically saying "being an idiot is being an idiot" without being idiotic itself. A paradox. William Blake was a motherfucker...

   That's just nonsense. I do that all the time.

   It doesn't logically explain anything. It's a quip. And it's also a serious statement.

   It does by being self-explanatory. Pretty meta but you seem to have picked up on that. It is just as serious of a statement as it is a true one. Presented as a joke.

   It's not self explanatory, it's self-contradictory. And again, doesn't prove anything. It's just a quip.

   Then you are incorrect. There's no logical connection between a relatively famous guy saying something and it being true.

   I agree. It doesn't matter who made the statement. It still remains correct, though.

   It doesn't remain correct because it has not been established

    How many generalizations do you have to make to be considered a person who generally makes generalizations?

    why not ? you've been predetermined to be wrong, to be perceived and / or opined as being ''wrong'' by the majority of the people that surrounds you.
    
    as there are no absolute rights or wrong.

    Generalization is often a helpful tool but it always requires a more in-depth analysis of the topic at hand and paricularization because it never represents the truth.
    
    Stereotyping is not a proper stance to take in my opinion because you will always be forced to adjust.

    Captain Falcon, I am currently having issues with my PC and do not have access to a keyboard. Once I get that sorted out, I will be able to write a reply.
