The worst type of stupidity for me is not having any appreciation for what you don’t know. There are honest stupid people and deceitful stupid people. The honest variety can appreciate there is a lot they don’t know and could never understand. The deceitful variety portray what they don’t know as not that important and amenable to anyone’s understanding in principle. The deceitful variety are often the “educated” humanities folks and those in the soft sciences.
I prefer an uneducated stupid person to an educated one as a rule because the uneducated ones weren’t propagandized to believe they were smart as part of some soft university degree program. The educated ones are insufferable in large measure.
