We are living in an era where information is more accessible than ever, yet superficiality and a lack of critical thinking have gained prominence. The "empowerment of stupidity" can be understood as the glorification of poorly grounded opinions, amplified by platforms that prioritize virality over depth. Individuals with little knowledge but great confidence often dominate public spaces, while experts are ignored or discredited. This happens, in part, because it’s easier to consume simplistic and polarizing ideas than to engage with nuance and complexity. As a result, ignorance is celebrated and amplified, while critical thinking is often left behind.
