    I would argue in those cases that you didn’t learn to be less stupid, you learned smarter things.

    Your brain is still clocked at the same speed, you’re just performing more efficient processes.

      Are you suggesting that one’s stupidity is determined at birth and then their stupidity can never decrease? But even with a strange definition like that, I would argue that a good education plan would keep your brain from atrophying, and so the net result would be the same as if education decreased stupidity.
