Why Stupid People Always Win

In 1976, economist Carlo Cipolla printed a private theory about human stupidity that was never meant to be published. It contains a graph you can draw on a napkin — and it will permanently change who you're afraid of.This video breaks down Cipolla's Basic Laws of Human Stupidity: the ledger framework, the four quadrants, why your intelligence makes you more vulnerable against this type of person, and why the fraction never changes — in any civilization, in any era. At the end, it will ask you to locate yourself on the graph. That's the part almost no one does honestly.Based on: The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity by Carlo M.
