This relatively short article packs a powerful punch as it touches upon four concepts that everyone would benefit pondering: the "Chesterton's Fence" thought experiment, the "Dunning-Krueger Effect", "Bonhoeffer's Theory of Stupidity", and "Social Dominance Orientation". The last two were relatively new to me. Truly worth your time. Such a species we are: capable of figuring out something about the origins of the universe, our planet, our evolution, but with one foot still stuck in irrationality, utter stupidity and dangerous tribalism.
