STUPIDITY, n. A morbidity of intellect. Labeled Mens inanis and defined as “a sclerosis of the wits” by the eminent Dr. Nazarene Foretop (Ladies Home Journal of Clinical Psychiatry 38, no. 4 (May 1972)). This disorder, though pandemic in scope, remains unclassified and without nomenclature due to the vast and heterogeneous nature of its outward symptoms, which are often benign to the infected, but malignant and possibly fatal to those vicinal.
Against stupidity the gods themselves contend in vain.
Friedrich von Schiller
