Publisher's Synopsis
This book isn't a comedy. It's an eye-opener and therapy. It doesn't contain mere knowledge. It contains divine wisdom needed for wise and happy living. In it, the writer traces the "original" origin of what he calls the billion problems of the world not to demons, but to stupidity in the hearts of humans. In it, you'll understand why humans do the cruel things they do such as murder, rape, genocide, and war. The writer believes that stupidity is one of the most frequently used words in all languages, yet most people don't know what stupidity really means. Because of this, Jojo has carefully collected over a hundred definitions of stupidity from over 90 countries and has presented the most interesting 20 definitions right in this book. After the definitions, he offers us the first three criteria for determining our actions as wise or as stupid. Again, in this book, you'll understand why some countries are weak and will continue to be weak and poor. You'll get to know why states make weapons of mass destruction instead of medicines. You'll understand issues like terrorism, racism, religious madness and so on. Jojo explains how bad habits, greed, disobedience, pride, bad friends and corrupt educational systems had made billions of the earth's inhabitants stupid and had created billion problems. As a Ghanaian writer, Jojo hasn't spared Africa's corrupt dictators. Apart from exogenous factors, Jojo blames the poverty, the pain and the misery of Africa with all the natural resources on the stupidity and the greed of the continent's misleaders and the foolishness of their voters. Jojo talks about hypocrisy in the international system and how irrelevant inter-governmental organizations are becoming of late. He asks two important questions in this book: "Is Africa the headquarters of stupidity?" "How united is the United Nations?" In this book, you'll learn that stupidity is as ancient as the universe and as mighty as the mountains. The writer believes that stupidity is beyond science and technology and therefore it requires divine and unscientific medication. Jojo explains that stupidity is a business software and strategy, a life coping strategy for the poor, a money-making machine for the rich as well as a significant source of political power for democracies and autocracies. After reading this book, you'll know how love, money, poverty, desire, tradition, religion and the media make humans stupid. You'll also know the effects of stupidity on global businesses, economies, political regimes, global peace and security and the family. The author talks about nature, the dynamics, and the transmission of stupidity as well as the current trends of stupidity. In this book, you will understand terms like entrepreneurs of stupidity, globalization of stupidity, specialization of stupidity, refugees of stupidity, cash dependency syndrome, the world bank of stupidity and many others. You will also come to know that each year governments ignorantly spend trillions of dollars fighting the effects of stupidity instead of fighting stupidity itself.
