‘De wetten van de menselijke stupiditeit’

“Only two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity. And I'm not sure about the universe.” - Albert Einstein

We live in a world that makes us more intelligent than ever. We have more books and more information than we will ever be able to use. Thousands of universities, tens of thousands of TV channels and millions of websites are at our disposal. So why is it that we are surrounded by human stupidity? With Carlo M. Cipolla's satirical essay in hand, Simone Milsdochter examines human stupidity in a hilarious, eloquent and almost scientific fashion. With plenty of humour and an equal amount of pain in her heart, she comes to the conclusion that any figure we put on society's stupid people is bound to be a significant underestimation.
