If it is,what accounts for why it is so wide spread and powerfull? i mean what about survival of the fittest? … my concept is confusing me…
Back to the point:how and when could wisdom go on the offencive,and then how would/could it defeat stupidity?
Hi Drift,
I don’t really think wisdom is a fair opposite of stupidity, maybe smart or clever etc…
Stupidity is overtly violent because it has to be.
But clever is just as violent, even if usually only by proxy.
Wisdom kinda leads you down to an avoidence of violence, of subverting the need to persue a path that leads to conflict, but still reaching your goal, usually, hopefully, bringing those who would have opposed you along with you - rather than leaving them in your wake.
There comes a point where not at least attempting to help others as you travel your path in life becomes the closest to ‘violence’ as you (need to) come.
Mind you, helps if as well as being wise, you are also built like a brick-shithouse and have an uzi in your shorts. Regretably.
The only difference between stupidity and wisdom in this respect is the quality of the excuses given for aggression/violence
If only they gave out prizes for cynicism… 
Intellect and stupidity are both perceptions. What might seem as a stupid action to one person might seem as intellectual to another. Even if you see something that you perceive as stupid, you might be seeing only part of the story. I.e. imperfect information is misleading your judgment.
I’m not quite sure but I’m pretty confident that we can define stupid and intelligent if we have to.
I don’t feel like doing it though.
I agree that we can comprehen the difference between the two meanings, yes.
So being a wise warrior starring is regrettable? Why? Under what conditions are wisdom and warriorhood regrettable?
side thought
is ignorance more certain than knowledge?
There is definitely such a thing as stupidity and intelligence.
George W. Bush is objectively stupid. Retards are objectively stupid. Einstein was smart. And so on.
That’s an unanswerable question. Before we can answer it, it needs to be more precise. Are you asking whether it’s more likely that someone be ignorant rather than knowledgable? Are you asking whether an ignorant person is more confident than a knowledgable person?
can people be more confident in what they know or what they don’t know? or can they be equally confident.

Sorry for the double post.
You’d think that the knowledgable would be confident, and the ignorant would lack confidence. Unfortunately, ignorant people can be confident, and the knowledgeable can lack confidence. You don’t often find the sort of person who has the right amount of confidence - who are confident when they have good reason to be, and not otherwise.
Yes, it would seem stupidity is more agressive. This is why Eisntein’s scientific research concluded that it was truly infinite and as such, having no limits. Only real aggression coming from those knowing that they are absolutely right could truly expand into the whole of infinity.
