foolishnesses
Acts of idiocy
Foolishnesses is the plural of foolishness, referring to multiple instances or types of foolish behavior, ideas, or qualities.
The plural form is uncommon, since foolishness typically functions as an uncountable noun: The various foolishnesses of youth eventually give way to wisdom.
When pluralized, it emphasizes distinct episodes or categories of folly rather than foolishness as a general condition.
