Why do societies repeat the same destructive patterns throughout history?

In this thought-provoking session, psychologist Dr. Santo Triolo breaks down the hidden DNA of human behavior and delivers a masterclass on how to reclaim your independent thought in an AI-driven world.

Why do wars, greed, envy, loneliness, corruption, and violence continue to shape humanity? In The Psychology of Stupid, Santo Triolo presents a thought-provoking literary exploration of the human condition. He guides his students through controversial conversations that challenge conventional thinking about human behavior, history, politics, mental health, and society itself.
