A New Deal in Stupidity

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: A cursory look at Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal provides ample evidence that stupidity is indeed the learned inability to learn: That is–a normal, dysfunctional learning process which occurs when a schema formed by linguistic biases and social norms acts via the neurotic paradox to establish a positive feedback system which renders behavior irrelevant to the environment and carries detached actions to maladaptive excesses.
