Every day, without exception, we see, hear and read stupid things. At the same time, everyone does it, thinks it, digests it and says it. From time to time, we are all fools who unwittingly say stupid things without serious consequences. But beyond the daily background noise of stupidity, we have to deal with a crowd of professional, crowned fools, fools with a capital F. And there is nothing funny about these fools, no matter where they meet us, at work or at home. So why is their "population" growing, turning stupidity from a flaw into a standard? The French science journalist Jean-François Marmion has made a stunning comprehensive study of the phenomenon of human stupidity.
- How the Internet and social media make us stupid
- Why very smart people sometimes believe in nonsense
- How to fight collective stupidity
- Propaganda of backwardness and methods of countering obscurantism
In this bold, sometimes daring and revealing history, psychiatrists, scientists, philosophers, sociologists and writers from around the world offer us their views on human stupidity, its nature and why it still exists in our lives.
