The Paradox of Human Intelligence Gone Wrong
Why do smart people make dumb decisions? This question haunts us daily as we scroll through social media, watch the news, or reflect on our own choices. "The Psychology of Stupidity" brings together leading psychologists, philosophers, and neuroscientists to examine this universal human trait. What makes this exploration particularly compelling is its refusal to position stupidity as something that happens only to "others." As Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman reminds us, we are all susceptible to cognitive biases that lead to poor decisions. Our fascination with understanding why intelligent people do foolish things has only grown more urgent in our era of "fake news" and "post-truth" politics. Stupidity manifests in varying intensities: minor irritations, institutional incompetence, and occasionally as devastating tidal waves that destroy everything in their path. Most dangerous are what the book calls "assholes with a capital A"-those who prosper despite their wrongheadedness, eroding others' dignity with unjustified arrogance. These individuals often occupy positions of power, making their impact particularly harmful.
