Dictionary Of Idiocy A
Stephen Bayley
Wittgenstein said that if people never did silly things, nothing intelligent would ever happen. This light-hearted guide for the perplexed studies all things that relate to such progress, from the car to Italian cuisine. Human progress depends on the continuing practice of stupidity; the text investigates what is necessary for human flourishing.
