Stupidity makes no distinctions; both masses and elites are equally at risk from its sudden appearance. It lurks in every human endeavor and can strike even the brightest minds.

It leaves its mark on History, hiding behind significant political, military, philosophical, and artistic events. The paradox is that the advancement of technology not only does not limit it but, on the contrary, gives it even greater dimensions.

However, the Italian philosophy professor Maurizio Ferraris believes that stupidity is not just an uncontrollable destructive force, but also an inexhaustible source of energy that contributes to the progress of the individual and humanity.
