empty-headedness
Lack of thought
Empty-headedness is the state of being foolish, vacant, or lacking serious thought.
The word suggests someone whose mind holds nothing of substance—no ideas, no depth, no understanding worth mentioning.
Her empty-headedness made her easy to manipulate.
The quality implies a permanent condition rather than a momentary lapse.
