Not being smart is a passive act, remedied with learning, experience, and thought. Stupid is active, the work of someone who should have or could have known better and decided to do something selfish, impulsive, or dangerous anyway. The more experience, assets, and privilege we have, the less excusable it is to do stupid things. And at the same time, the more useful it is to announce that we’re not smart (yet).
