Requirements: .ePUB reader, 6.4 Mb
Overview: Humans are remarkable beings. We have mastered flight, cracked the genetic code, developed quantum mechanics and democracy, been to the moon, and may soon become a multi-planetary species.
Yet, despite these unparalleled achievements, we can still be…pretty stupid.
Can you believe that:
• 10% of Americans use their phones during sex
• 40% of Americans reject the theory of evolution
• IQs in developed countries have been declining since 1995
• 86% of American teens cannot differentiate between fact and opinion
In Homo Idioticus, renowned economist, investor, and entrepreneur, Cezary Pietrasik, explores the paradox of human intelligence and irrationality, delving into the roots of this idiocy, from biology to societal norms to systemic flaws, using vivid historical and modern examples to illustrate our follies.
