A good listen about stupidity, not the stupidity that we commonly associate with foolishness.

The Three Elements of Stupidity:
 Outsourcing Thinking**: Relying on third parties to do our moral or critical reasoning for us.
 Willful Ignorance** (Amathia): A conscious decision to avoid knowledge and celebrate the state of not knowing, which prevents personal and societal growth.
 Conformity**: Prioritizing group loyalty, identity, and tribalism over truth, which can lead individuals to abandon their own convictions to align with a system or movement.
