The History of Stupidity: How Humanity Learns Absolutely Nothing

The History of Stupidity: How Humanity Learns Absolutely Nothing
- A book that proves civilisation's greatest threats aren't meteors, viruses or alien invasions. Most of the time, all it takes is... one bad idea, an oversized ego - or a democratic election.

In this sharply ironic and brilliantly observed book, you'll discover:

- how the Soviet Union accidentally drained the world's fourth-largest lake,
- why China declared war on sparrows - and what followed,
- how a handful of rabbits pushed Australia into an ecological emergency,
- what happened when a ruler mistook a polite letter for a declaration of war,
- and how a president of Ecuador governed with a microphone instead of a constitution.

This isn't a history book - it's a survival manual for a world run by people just like us. Smart, gripping, sometimes hilarious, sometimes terrifying. Perfect for fans of history, politics, and dark humour.
If you enjoy the sharp commentary of YouTube essays, podcasts and investigative reporting with bite - you'll love this book.

Who is it for?
- For anyone who wants to learn how not to repeat the same mistakes.
- For anyone with even a hint of healthy scepticism about the world.
