  • Why We Choose to Be Stupid

    Why We Choose to Be Stupid

    Why we choose to be stupid : the responsibility of andragogy and a search for answers in paradox, Canon, multiculturalism and the philosophy of postmodern critical education theory by Gregory Norton Garcia A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education in Adult, Community, and Higher Education Montana State University © Copyright by Gregory Norton Garcia (1997) Abstract: In this study ideas and concepts that can be used to describe the phenomenon of stupidity and explore the possibility that we choose to be stupid, were developed from the social and political philosophy of Western Civilization. The research methods applied were based on the phenomenological school of qualitative inquiry using a narrative style. Findings suggest we choose to be stupid and stupidity can be generally described in the following ways: Conceptually, it is a paradox or antilogy that can be behaviorally chronicled in a number of ways. Culturally, stupidity is a philosophically implied concept that has consistently been instrumental in shaping our ideas of intelligence. Andragogically, stupidity is voluntary behavior that may be conscious and/or unconscious, but is manifestly anti-moral if not immoral and so it is counterproductive. Individually and personally, stupidity is a seemingly anatomic behavioral response to serendipitous personal and cultural predicaments. Stupidity can result from confused thinking. It can result from a misinterpretation of reality and it can also be generated by the human incapacity to live a moral existence. While stupidity may not be curable, by developing more precise awareness, we can compensate for stupidity by more fully realizing consequences.

  • Unreported Cases

    Unreported Cases

    2001] UNREPORTED CASES defended in bad faith, such that the fees paid by Statek to finance the defense should never have been expended in the first place. This Court has already held, and the Delaware Supreme Court has affirmed, that Johnston and Spillane defended the §225 action in bad faith and were personally liable to pay Vendel's attorneys' fees and expenses.2 This Court found (in the words of the Supreme Court) that "the conduct of the Defendants rose to the level of bad faith because they had no valid defense and knew it."2" This Court also found that " that conduct also to supports the conclusion that the defendants in2°9 bad faith forced Vendel commence and prosecute [the §225] action." From these findings it follows (in my opinion, inescapably) that the defendants also acted in bad faith by causing Statek to finance their defense, which was found to be a "sham" and "intended to delay the inevitable day of reckoning, and to enable the defendants to continue mulcting the corporation without detection. 2' 1 To say it differently, had defendants not acted in bad faith, the §225 action would never have been prosecuted and there would have been no defense costs for Statek to bear. The same fiduciary duty considerations that justified shifting to the defendants the liability to pay Vendel's fees, also warrant shifting to those defendants the fees and other defense costs they improperly caused Statek to incur. Because there was no "good faith" dispute about the merits of the claim in the §225 action, the defendants are liable to Statek for the fees and expenses it paid to defend that action.
