On the nature of Stupidity

On what it is to be stupid. Characterization of stupidity purely in terms of harm.

I don't agree with this article's outlook on life. People are imperfect and make mistakes, to be sure. But I don't know that many people make so many mistakes, perform so poorly, as to warrant being called stupid. Are the stakes often high enough for that?
