Sakis Serefas, A seminar on stupidity


A monologue in lecture form, A seminar on Stupidity sets out to provide a thorough analysis of its subject-matter, which it illustrates using a host of hilarious examples, both indigenous and imported: Napoleon insisting “The weather’s the same everywhere in Europe”, for example, before embarking on his – utterly disastrous, as things turned out – Russian campaign.


Serefas pillories old and new alike before bringing the seminar to a close with an old Arabic proverb: “Stupidity may be a gift from God, but it should never be overused”. As he goes on to note: “Do you think a civilization that gave us the astrolabe, Algebra, the pendulum and falafel could be mistaken in its calculations on stupidity?”
