Rational Stupidity
* Corresponding author
Abstract
In philosophical terms, stupidity may be viewed as a three way compromise among: 1.) “Pragmatic rationality”– how well individuals maximize the satisfaction of their desires, given their schemas; 2.) “Epistemic rationality”–the internal consistency of the schemas; and 3.) “Theoretical rationality– how well the schemas represents the external world1 . All this would be much easier2 for cognitive theorists3 to understand and accept were it not for the schematic legacy of the Age of Reason.
