A theoretical framework that identifies and critiques simpletonacy as a widespread cultural and cognitive phenomenon. It argues that in an age of [information overload], many people retreat to the simplest, most authoritative-sounding narrative as a defense against complexity. Simpletonacy theory examines how institutions, media, and education systems often reward this shallow acceptance, punishing those who ask difficult questions. It also explores the [psychological] appeal of simpletonacy: certainty is comforting, doubt is anxiety-provoking. The theory does not claim that all official narratives are false, but that the reflex to reject any [alternative] as "conspiracy" is itself an irrational bias—one that stifles inquiry and protects power.
