What are you even saying?

Are you arguing stupidity would be selectively bred out or are you saying that stupidity is not punishable with punishment being a social construct of repurcussion not natural selection?

Stupid is punished. If it should be or not is worth arguing maybe, I believe it should be in some cases not all. If you deny science go for it, if you dont know your multiplication tables so be it.

I'm saying that most of the time stupidity has no consequence, and that's ok.

We're all stupid a vast majority of the time. If we imposed punishment for that, we would all be dead.
