Basic Laws of Human Stupidity

An essay on the nature of humans and their interactions. With a formal definition of stupid, intelligent, helpless, and "bandit," we can begin to understand people and how they act. Loads of humor, but much too short; needs seven sequels.

My first reaction at reading this little book is how bizarre it feels. It analyses human stupidity in a way that makes you giggle, but it also describes peculiarities of reality and that stays with you longer than expected. I found myself thinking about what these laws mean, specially in societies headed by the likes of Trump.
