The Laws Of Human Stupidity

from The Tutor Podcast · host Neil Cowmeadow

This week, Neil reflects upon the words of Carlo Cipolla from 1976, and his work on ‘The Human Laws Of Stupidity’ – five laws that may explain a lot about the world around us today… KEY TAKEAWAYS Everybody underestimates the number of stupid people. The number around us is way higher than you may think. Stupidity does not rely upon factors such as race, religion, sex, profession, or income level. Non-stupid people underestimate the danger of stupid people. Stupid people are irrational and unpredictable, and we cannot plan for their effects. BEST MOMENTS 'The probability of someone being stupid doesn’t correlate with any other factors’ ‘It’s a behavioural trait of stupidity’ ‘Stupid people are the most dangerous people in the world. They are the spanners in the works of the world’ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Tutor Podcast  www.Neilcowmeadow.com ABOUT THE HOST Neil Cowmeadow is a maverick peripatetic guitar teacher from Telford with over 19 years’ experience in the business of helping people.
