is stupidity and ignorance two different things?

Question

I think intelligence and knowledge are two different things,
Intelligence is the speed of how someone processes their information, like a more intelliegent person can do things faster, but they can be wrong when they lack knowledge.... but have a faster mental process, a faster speed in their mind....


Knowledge is simply how much you know is true in your head, even if it's fiction ,you know it's true relative to something such as " Superman is fiction but is true relative to so and so...."

Memory is how much someone can store in their head before it get's lost.

Creativity is arguably the most difficult aspect. In-fact some people imagine things that are insignificant and inconsequential to the majority.... i mean how the **** can someone be imagining random ****.

so in a sense we say there's this large heap of stuff called knowledge, and that intelligence is a machine that moves things from the heep into another basket called memory........ and say that the intelligent machine get's knowledge from another side of the heep that sais false things like "elephants are pink" and another machine less intelligent gets a heep that sais something that is true such as " 1+1 = 2 "

That means that, an intelligent thing would be wrong if not provided the right knowledge. Such as if you teach an intelligent thing wrong things, the intelligent thing will keep on doing wrong things. Cause intelligence is simply how much things you can hold in your mind or concieve of at once, it is different from one who knows alot.

knowing is a fluid term, and there are some people who know things that are insignificant to themselves, that won't benefit them, such as facebook creepers or people wanting to know unrelated things from Charles Darwin to like textiles. They back it up by establishing relativity, trying to find something to relate to the object they know , just to justify why they know it, or make up a Scheme to state that this will benefit them , and they start to fantasize.

Answer 1

G

Ignorance is not knowing. Stupidity is unwillingness, or inability to learn.

Creativity is not so hard if you are willing to give up answers for a path.

Answer 2

Stupidity is not using knowledge we have and ignorance is simply not having knowledge.



An adult J-walks without paying attention, texting on a cell phone = stupid since we all know (are aware) that walking out on the road without your head up is dangerous.



But a small child who walks out onto the road (with or without a cell) does it because there is a lack of knowledge and experience, they don't do it because they are stupid but because they are ignorant (not aware) of the danger. Once they learn, they are smart, then they grow up and ignore that knowledge and hence are stupid.

Answer 3

Well I just read the question and not the book after that.<(ignorance). To answer the question simply, I think stupidity is people who don't know, and ignorance is for people who don't want to know.

Answer 4

Ignorance is not knowing. Stupidity is knowing it half or knowing it wrongly. Ignorance is also the least form of intelligence.

Answer 5

Here, we have to only see how it is going to contribute to one's philosophic knowledge. All these are creative ideas, but yet to be approved by one and all.

Answer 6

stupidity is not knowing when you should.

ignorance is not knowing.



a stupid person would clean the floor when they know someone will slip on it.

an ignorant person would clean the floor without realizing someone will slip on it.



so stupidity is worse then ignorance but they are both bad.

Answer 7
