Ha ha ha, right. You will lose your war on stupidity so resoundingly, it will give you near-fatal perplexation.

Stupidity is found uniformly across all classes and divisions of humans. Every percentile IQ has the same stupidity. Every social and financial class. Educating people doesn't make them do fewer stupid things. Giving people access to reason and logic doesn't prevent them from doing stupid things. Stupidity is completely orthogonal to the concepts you think oppose it.

Alright, what do you believe causes stupidity in humans? Remember, you can't use the hand-wave of "it's endemic to the condition," because that's just a fancy way of saying we don't know yet.
