Definition of Stupidity
The modern English word "stupid" has a broad range of application, from being slow of mind (indicating a lack of intelligence, care or reason), dullness of feeling or sensation (torpidity, senseless, insensitivity), or lacking interest or point (vexing, exasperating). It can either imply a congenital lack of capacity for reasoning, or a temporary state of daze or slow-mindedness.
In Understanding Stupidity, James F. Welles defines stupidity this way: "The term may be used to designate a mentality which is considered to be informed, deliberate and maladaptive." Welles distinguishes stupidity from ignorance; one must know they are acting in their own worst interest. Secondly, it must be a choice, not a forced act or accident. Lastly, it requires the activity to be maladaptive, in that it is in the worst interest of the actor, and specifically done to prevent adaption to new data or existing circumstances.

"Kikwete ni kinara wa udini Tanzania" by Godbless Lema.
Nilikua naskiliza hotuba ya Nyerere ITV kuhusu ubaguzi wa rangi, makabila, na udini, mzee alikua kichwa sana, haya ya udini alishayaona na ndo hayo yanayotokea, kuna watu (waislamu/wakristo) wanataka nchi iwe ya kwao ni WAJINGA.
:disapointed: Jioni hii ITV imerusha hotuba ya baba wa taifa Mwl Julius K Nyerere na moja ya maneno aliyosema ni kwamba anaweza kumwita mtu mjinga kwa lugha ya kimombo ''illiterate'' lakina hawezi kumwita mpumbavu kwa lugha ya kigeni ''stupid" Kwa wale wanaosema Mh Pinda kuitwa Mpumbavu sio tusi basi waelewe Mwl alitutoka miaka 15 iliyopita na kwa busara zake alijua kwamba kumwita mwenzio stupid si heshima kama wanaosema mpumbavu ni sifa ya mtu. Haiwezekani kwa mfano umwite baba yako mzazi stupid halafu umwambie hiyo ni sifa yake. ''Mod nakuomba usiondoe hii thread kwa kuwa itasaidia wanachama kujua yapi yaliyo maneno ya matusi na yapi yasiyo. Wacha watu wachangie''
