Intelligence is a measure of knowledge, compared to those around them.
In the land of the blind, the man eith one eye is the smartest around.
Stupidity is just a a crude term for lacking intelligence, which we must remember is not the same as wisdom.
No because, I know, Im stupid and so does every GaGer.
Most people see intellect as a linear idea. Simmilar to how most people see the political spectrum.
