Ignorance and stupidity can actually be beneficial to the person. Just imagine how much happier would you be if you didn't know some of the things you knew.
I always thought that. But while they may be happy, but it's for sure they will never feel the joy of knowledge.
Once you get to know how it feels to surpass your own limits, to learn something completely new without effort, you never want to stop.
Or maybe ignorant and stupid are that much better at reproduction. Makes you ponder for a minute
Well, they're highly trained - when removing everything that is intellectual, all that is remaining is the basic animal needs, including reproduction.
Of course, this needs a reference to the Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.

Growth needs do not stem from a lack of something, but rather from a desire to grow as a person. Once these growth needs have been reasonably satisfied, one may be able to reach the highest level called self-actualization.
Every person is capable and has the desire to move up the hierarchy toward a level of self-actualization. Unfortunately, progress is often disrupted by a failure to meet lower level needs. Life experiences, including divorce and loss of a job, may cause an individual to fluctuate between levels of the hierarchy.
Therefore, not everyone will move through the hierarchy in a uni-directional manner but may move back and forth between the different types of needs.
