Nope. Ignorance and stupidity IS the same thing.
When we jump into dictionaries we find different definitions. Where some say
stupid means low IQ or being dull, which is the one you are using. So we are
not really talking about the same thing.
So technically we are both right and wrong! Haha.

Education can be the cure for stupidity. It's a false hood that you cannot get
over being stupid. What you are talking about is intelligence.
Which can also be improved.
My definition of IQ is the ability to perceive a situation, figure out how to
handle it, and execute it well.
I'm pushing my point because I have used education to make an otherwise not
very bright person, bright and shiny. I got him more perceptive and more able
to deal with life. His IQ went up 12 points.
I'd say he got a new slant on life, and he would not agree that death was his
only option.
