Why are people so stupid?!?
from Thought Architecture Hosted by Justin Noppe
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: * Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation. * The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person. * 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. * 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. * 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 References: Sunk cost Fallacy Conformity bias Bonhoeffer’s theory Cipolla’s theory The Vice documentary of the Lev Tahor Cult Advice for dealing with people 🎥 Check out the youtube channel here: [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCejK...] ✍️ Do the free training here: (https://www.justinnoppe.com/change-co...) 📸 Follow me on IG (@justinnoppe) (https://www.instagram.com/justinnoppe/) This is a public episode.
