If I put my hand on a stove. It hurts. I learn not to do that again.

If I live in a region that has been controlled by a specific party for generations and life sucks, and I keep voting for that party, then I'm stupid.

If I'm suffering the effects of global warming after professionals have spent decades telling me it was happening, and I choose to continue ignoring it, I'm stupid.

You're trying to absolve ADULTS from the responsibility of self-education. Of learning from experience.

There's a lot of misinformation out there. But adults shouldn't be waiting for someone to tell them what to think. It's their responsibility to learn from obvious mistakes. There are plenty of people in history that have left organized religion because they learned, through experience, that it was bullshit. That means anyone that isn't willfully ignorant can do the same.
