The Psychosocial Mechanism of Stupidity

James F Welles

Global Journal of Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities, 2017, vol. 3, issue 3, 54-57

Abstract: What is stupidity? It is the learned corruption of learning. At best, learning about our surroundings and ourselves is an imperfect process. At worst, it is rendered difficult, impossible or self-defeating by stupidity, which promotes maladaptive behavior by denying us knowledge about our environment and our effects on it.
