Those people are dumb by choice.

Stupidity is not an intellectual failing; it is a moral failing. This is why intelligent people can be so fucking stupid.

This is why intelligent people can be so fucking stupid.

That has more to do with the fact that "smart" in a general sense doesn't really exist. Having a PhD in Chemistry doesn't give you any authority in Psychology. Similarly, someone can be widely considered genius but also someone who shouldn't make any political decisions.
