Do you believe "stupid" people actually have stupidity or stubbornness?

[Zendmaur]

For a while I was contemplating the belief that most we call "stupid" are actually just extremely prideful and thus refuse to learn more or reassess their beliefs, and that stupidity is not a cognitive concept excluding biological deficiencies, basically a turbocharged version of the Dunning-Kruegger effect. I didn't want to believe that people are stupid by their own nature and rather it's just a result of narcissism. A quick look at social media makes more and more skeptical of this concept, maybe some people are indeed incapable of critical thinking regardless of personality.

If you are stupid, you are most likely going to be humble from my experience. The real stubborn and prideful ones are the midwits imo.
