I don't think stupidity is a real thing. It's just an assesment along a relative scale, right? By that measure, I'm not stupid. which is the point of this whole pointless argument here.
But saying "I'm not stupid" seems like a stupid thing to say, since so many stupid people say it all the time. what am I supposed to answer? You wanna see my MENSA card? My SAT's? Who cares? the point is philosophy and if you define intellect by IQ alone, I don't know what to say except the only people who have ever accused me of stupidity are very stupid people. I have more than a few friends who are smart, and they all respect my intelligence so I don't know what else to conclude about you three, Arlo and Ant and dmb. You're just not that smart. Certainly not smart enough to judge MY intelligence. And my dick is bigger than yours also.
