Description

The word “idiot” is defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as “a foolish or stupid person.”

As far as Thomas Erikson is concerned, however, an “idiot” is merely someone who has a different behavior profile—and, consequently, style of communication—than the one dubbing him one.

Of course, this is not something Erikson believed when he was young when he too “pigeonholed people into two groups—good and sensible people and all the rest, the people who didn’t seem to understand anything at all:”

And how did Erikson’s worldview change?

Well, when he was 25, he was supposed to interview a 60-year-old CEO by the name of Sture who told him that “he was surrounded by idiots.” The more Thomas thought about this sentence, the less he was able to understand it.

“But who hired all these idiots?” he eventually asked Sture, fully aware that it could have been only him and nobody else.
