The psychology of foolishness

Try to argue with the fool and you will find yourself lost inside an endless maze, for the fool knows everything better than you. And worse, the more you try to fix a foolish mistake, the more you reinforce his sense of difference, he will be very happy if he considers himself a victim that annoys you, because then he will be the hero of standing out from the crowd. The book explores through a series of dialogues with psychologists, philosophers, sociologists, and writers their view on foolishness, trying to answer questions like: Why is trying to debate fools considered a trap? Why do the dumbest people not think they are fools? Do emotions necessarily make us fools? What are cognitive biases and how do they lead us to foolishness? Is it possible to get a scientific classification of fools? Everyone has recently been complaining about the fools around them, this book tries to identify the traits of foolishness, maybe we should stop for a moment from blaming others and start doing the best we can towards fools, which is not to increase their numbers, instead of engaging with them in their favorite game.
