This guide is here to expose how much of life is shaped by flawed thinking, automatic behaviour, and inherited nonsense. From the basics of human psychology to the way we engage with politics, culture, and belief, The Idiot’s Psychological Field Guide is a manual for those willing to admit they don’t always know what they’re doing — and want to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface.
The Psychology of Nincompoop
Exploring the mental processes of the human mind.
This section examines the unconscious forces that shape most human thought — not the noble, rational image people like to project, but the messy, shortcut-riddled machinery actually running the show. From cognitive biases to mental habits, these processes reveal a clear pattern: most of the time, people aren’t thinking clearly — they’re reacting, guessing, or copying.
The Nincompoop Lens
This section dives into religion, politics, culture, economics, and the rest of humanity’s grand ideas. Through the Nincompoop lens, we stop pretending these systems are guided by wisdom or reason and start seeing them for what they are: noble blueprints hijacked by bias, ego, projection, and whatever was trending at the time. What looks like structure is often just emotionally charged guesswork wrapped in tradition, shouted confidently.
