What You've Gotten Yourself Into
Mt. Stupid Institute (mt-stupid.institute) is operated by Impero Bostad, registered in Norway (Org. 927 057 425). It is a satirical website and real merch store. The editorial content is humorous commentary about the Dunning-Kruger effect. The products are real, physical (and digital) items you can buy with real money.
The "It's a Joke" Section
The editorial content on this site is satirical commentary intended for entertainment purposes. References to "business majors," professional groups, or personality types are generalized humor, not targeted harassment of specific individuals. If you feel personally attacked, that may be the Dunning-Kruger effect at work.
What You're Actually Buying
All products are novelty items. The "Certificate of Acknowledged Ignorance" is a humorous digital product with no academic, professional, or legal value. It is issued by the "Mt. Stupid Institute for Self-Awareness," which is a fictional institution.
The Money Part
All prices are in US Dollars (USD). Payment is processed securely by Stripe. We do not store your payment information.
Don't Steal Our Jokes
The content, design, copy, and illustrations on this site are original works. The Dunning-Kruger curve illustration is an original rendering of a general psychological concept, not a reproduction of any specific published figure. You may not reproduce, distribute, or commercially use the site's content without permission.
The Part Where Lawyers Made Us Say This
This site and its products are provided "as is." We make no warranties, express or implied, about the accuracy of our claims regarding your intellectual limitations. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of this site or purchase of products.
If This Goes Sideways
These terms are governed by the laws of Norway. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Norway.
We Reserve the Right to Get Smarter
We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
