Why are people so stupid?!?

- In this episode
- the Cipolla model
- the Bonhoeffer model
- why people behave like this
- what can we do about stupidity
These are Cipolla's five fundamental laws of stupidity:
1 - Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
2 - The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
3 - A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.
4 - Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places, and under any circumstances, to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.
5 - A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.
“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”― Albert Einstein
