i still think calling other people stupid is — stupid, at least it is mostly not helpful
in a recent interaction i called myself stupid, which lead me down a little rabbit hole, thinking about what stupid means
an explanation that i liked: if i’m building, i’m wise, if i’m destroying, i’m stupid
that leaves open what is building and what is destroying, which obviously is subjective or at least open for discussion
the more mainstream definition of stupid is the lack of intelligence or reason
i don’t think calling myself stupid is wrong. it entails reflection, self criticism and acknowledgment of my weaknesses
there is the other side, where one stupidity leads to another one, which leads to dark places. i don’t go there
