Dev Goenka stupidity - Proven scientifically

Carlo M. Cipolla was an Italian economic historian who did research on STUPIDITY and published an essay on The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity.

Cipolla identifies two factors to consider when exploring human behaviour:

Benefits and losses that an individual causes to him or herself.
Benefits and losses that an individual causes to others

According to Cipolla -

Stupid people (bottom left), whose efforts are counterproductive to both their and others' interests

NOW, we quote each of Cipolla's Fundamental Laws of Human Stupidity and compare the traits with character of Mr Dev Goenka. Laws written in black. Dev analysis in Red.

These are Cipolla's five Fundamental laws of Human Stupidity:

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

- True. Nobody in EHT serial knew how many other stupid people were out there. The number of stupid people is always underestimated.

2. The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.

- True. Other characteristics of Dev Goenka, such as education, exposure, academic achievement, character, status etc, had little correlative assumption of him being stupid. You cannot guess from other traits that the guy could be this stupid.

3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.

- Absolutely applies to Dev Goenka! His stupid actions always spoiled it for others, never caused any gain to him and instead endangered his own life, squandered his money also.

4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places and under any circumstances to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.

- True again. Every non-stupid character who dealt with Dev Goenka ended up doing stupid things him/herself. Many non-stupid characters ignored or underestimated him and suffered consequences. Attack on Payal was biggest proof of costly mistake of associating with Dev Goenka who is fulfilling all criteria of stupidity.

5. A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

- Yes he is. All violent instances, abrupt changes in plans, failure of past progress and bringing out ruthless side of others happened due to him. Lawyer killed, Rajnath, Sakshi and Shaurya all on murderous sprees triggered by one person, Payal back in mental hospital, all linked to chain started by one person. That is Dev Goenka. Too obvious, never learnt from mistakes, blundering constantly, unintentionally dangerous and spoilsport.

CONCLUSION:

The laws postulated by Cipolla and characteristics as well as several actions of Dev Goenka completely are in tune with each other. Dev Goenka fulfills each condition with several instances to back up as proof. Hence proved that Dev Goenka can safely be termed as STUPID, based on scientific theory.

In short, we found these laws and they tallied with Dev so even scientifically Dev is Dev D only AKA Stupid.

OMG anu ...the was post is great ..more like when I recall I used to sit n do theorems in mathematics ...where in we used to start with a given statement n do an Analysis ..with a hence proved in the end ..effectively putting all the DOUBTS to an end ..

Not tht I ever had any doubt ...but Better still it's proved tht mr DEV Goenka has a long way to go when he is pitted against the likes of rajnath Sakshi Shaurya n even Durga n Dayal ...

So there is no doubt tht he needs buck up or buzz off 😆

Thank you Ecri.

You should read the Theory of Stupidity by Carlo Cipolla here in brief - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_Maria_Cipolla

In my opinion, Goenka trio qualify in semi stupid bandits category as postulated by Cipolla.

There is actually a whole proper book on this theory by Cipolla.

EDITED..

First of all missed your posts esp 🤗 ..And here you go with the so-called main lead 🤣 of old serials... Remember how dumb and stupid the main leads were?? hmm... I guess Dev D must have taught Tulsi, Prerna, Parvati etc etc,,, on how to be the hero.. 😆

Anyways I got something more

Jung's belief that "it requires no art to become stupid; the whole art lies in extracting wisdom from stupidity. Stupidity is the mother of the wise, but cleverness never.

Hmm...Dev D till now spent all of his trying to extract information about Nitya, where is she?? Whereas the girl was/is RIGHT beside him..24hours Now..

@Bold: I would like to edit the sentence, Stupidity is the son of the most WISE mother 🤣

One more thing

James F. Welles defines stupidity this way: "The term may be used to designate a mentality which is considered to be informed, deliberate and maladaptive."

PERFECTLY goes with our Dev D...He thinks he can know anything by simply just asking his opponent 🤣

So now this actually proves that Dev is an utter stupid. Well I think is will be enough for those who think his character is 'decently innocent'! Great post atominis. This is an absolute answer to those who kept asking, 'why do you call him stupid?". Well dear, here is you answer!😆

Just cannot thank you enough for this post!👏👏👏👏

Dhamakedaar post😆

you know what I think even the actor is annoyed doing the same thing over and over again. In fact all of them look tired of the monotonous dialogues and expressions.

Except Simone of course. She is the only charm of the show left. Too good with her emotions and expressions.

Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.

Robert A. Heinlein

I have no idea who he is but I feel that it fits Dev perfectly. He literally spoilt the whole show with his Nitya jaap, 24 ghante, vagerah vagerah.

I am really not interested in him anymore nor in this once a beautiful show.
