| Abstract: | In Psychology Stupidity is not considered merely as the result of lack of commonsense or brilliance but an act performed willfully without any rational thinking or analysis. In Science as well as Eastern Philosophy, in particular, the conclusions drawn through experiments are not as any formality but to serve as a guideline for the future. No doubt everything is subject to a transient nature yet certain proven facts have a lasting life. Defying this truth with a wishful thinking has no meaning and is bound to lead to a disaster. Similarly sticking on to the nonsensical ideas vehemently serving own voluntarily nurtured ego is a clear sign of Stupidity although the owner may take a supreme pride in pursuing the same. This may also be considered as a deliberately defying reason giving preference to own idiosyncrasy and also an extension to rejoice it. Therefore it is an act performed with rigid thinking. It may also be looked upon as a destructive force conveniently utilized expecting desirable results that are theoretically calculated. One can expect such attempts from maladjusted personalities or those immeasurably pampered without any exposure to the existing reality. Lack of genuine knowledge, non-adaptability to the surface reality, acknowledging or subscribing to the faulty analysis, serving egoistic attitude, never deviating from the defective path despite knowing, adamant nature, never taking into consideration or appreciating others views that are in vogue and so on, can be some of the causes for the monumental pride built up which eventually results into an incorrigible wave of Stupidity. All that we need to understand is the basic difference between Ignorance, Innocence and Stupidity. There are indeed remedies for Ignorance and Innocence but repairing the deliberately constituted Stupidity is a Herculean job and may remain highly improbable. We have a very few theories of Stupidity, Viz.; Theories of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Carlo Cipollo to quote, who have gone into the details and presented even certain laws related to Human Stupidity. This paper attempts to bring forth the gist of these two and for a comparison/reference, philosophically speaking common man’s views or outlook. |
