John said to Arlo:
You can't fix stupidity? What good is your whole career then? I may not be a
genius, but that doesn't mean I'm stupid.
dmb says:
Education helps with the problem of ignorance, although there is no such thing
as a total "fix". Ignorance is always a matter of degree. Or maybe it's better
to say that learning can "fix" specific kinds of ignorance.
But stupidity is very different and it can't be fixed. People who lack
intelligence or the ability to think clearly are often ignorant as a result,
the stupidity itself is an inability to learn while ignorance only means that
there is learning to be done. Ignorant means you need to learn or you should
learn while stupid means you cannot learn. Huge difference, like the difference
between "out of shape" and "paralyzed" or "couch potato" and "paraplegic".
