ABSTRACT: Behavioral
stupidity, evil, and insanity are topics that are seen as controversial in mainstream
conversations but also invoke confusion and subjectivity more than rational
analysis in order to reduce confusion. For clarity on the topic, this article attends to the application of
metamemetics and multilogicality, a theory proposed by Diego Fontanive to
identify and analyze their characteristics. Results of this analysis suggest
that more empirical work in social sciences is needed to be used toward
understanding, measuring, and potentially managing, identifying, and
potentially reducing or preventing disorder, evil, and stupidity if possible.
