    Evolutionary game inspired by Cipolla's basic laws of human stupidity
    (American Physical Society, 2020) Kuperman, Joel; Barcenas, Donny R.; Kuperman, Marcelo Nestor
    In this work we present an evolutionary game inspired by the work of Carlo Cipolla entitled The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity. The game expands the classical scheme of two archetypical strategies, collaborators and defectors, by including two additional strategies. One of these strategies is associated with a stupid player that, according to Cipolla, is the most dangerous one as it undermines the global wealth of the population. By considering a spatial evolutionary game and imitation dynamics that go beyond the paradigm of a rational player we explore the impact of Cipolla's ideas and analyze the extent of the damage that stupid players inflict on the population.

    The destructive effect of human stupidity: a revision of Cipolla’s fundamental laws
    (Springer, 2020) Barcenas, Donny R.; Kuperman, Joel; Kuperman, Marcelo Nestor
    In this work, we analyze an evolutionary game that incorporates the ideas presented by Carlo Cipolla in “The fundamental laws of human stupidity”. The game considers four strategies, three of them are inherent to the player behavior and can evolve via imitation dynamics, while the fourth one is associated with an eventual behavior that can be adopted by any player at any time with a certain probability. This fourth strategy corresponds to what Cipolla calls a stupid person. The probability of behaving stupidly acts as a parameter that induces a phase transition in the steady distribution of strategies among the population.
