STUPIDITY. What is stupidity? Well, we are all familiar with alcohol and this induces a state of stupidity, if the dose too great. It is really someone functioning without self-control or self awareness, without thought. See £20 quid, pick it up, no brainer. Stupidity is to be functioning, but just mechanically. No real thought. It is like sleepwalking, doing but not aware. A stupid person does not know they are stupid. The simple test is to ask a stupid person why they did or said something, and they do not know.............they tend to get angry at being forced to recognise their mental illness.

Hence, stupid people can 'sleepwalk' into situations thus created which are a 'bad/difficult place to be'.
