Cipolla’s 5 Laws of Human Stupidity
Posted OnJanuary 26, 2023 By Jonas Koblin


In 1976, Carlo Cipolla, a professor of economic history, derived a social law, by which we can group people into four categories: The first he called “the helpless”, the second are “the intelligent”, the third are “the bandits”, and the last are “the stupid”.

The stupid person is the most dangerous type of person, and in groups far more powerful than the Mafia, the Military or Communism, Cipolla warned. To arrive at this conclusion, we need to understand his 5 Basic Laws of Human Stupidity.




1. Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.


3: A stupid person is someone who causes losses to other people while himself deriving no gain.

4: Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid people and keep forgetting that to deal with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake
