Greek Stupidity

From before Pythagoras to after Archimedes, the cognitive life of Greece is sketched out according to and consistent with the model that stupidity is the learned inability to learn: That is a normal, dysfunctional learning process which occurs when a schema formed by linguistic biases and social norms acts via the neurotic paradox to establish a positive feedback system which renders behavior irrelevant to the environment and carries detached actions to maladaptive excesses. Special attention is de-voted to the major philosophers of the period.
