About this listen

Anatomy of Stupidity is a bold exploration of one of humanity’s most enduring mysteries: why do people persist in foolishness, even in the face of clear evidence?

Boris Kriger takes the listener on a journey through philosophy, psychology, biology, and politics to uncover the hidden anatomy of stupidity. From Aristotle’s warnings and Erasmus’s satire to modern cognitive science and the digital age, he reveals how folly is more than ignorance or error—it is the stubborn refusal to see and to learn.

The audiobook shows how stupidity shapes societies, fuels corruption, sustains war, and blocks progress. Yet it also exposes its paradoxical role in human evolution, where error, luck, and even folly sometimes drive creativity and survival.

With striking examples from personal life, history, and today’s world of media manipulation and political populism, Anatomy of Stupidity is both a diagnosis and a call to action. It urges us to cultivate critical thinking, humility, and self-awareness, and to resist the collective irrationality that threatens our future.
This audiobook challenges the listener with a simple but urgent message: the battle against stupidity begins with each of us.
