There’s a syndrome called dumb pride. This is where people are stupid but their pride won’t let them make decisions that go against the grain of their stupidity.

Stubborn (skeptical and/or refusing to accept what may be more obvious) = Personality Trait, personality is hard to change without intensive psychotherapy.

Stupid (low iq and/or lack of knowledge) = Low IQ is generally speaking an immutable characteristic, but can be overcome with repetition of tasks and significant hands on training.

So in the end they are very similar, but the stupid label has a bit more nuance depending on what definition you are using.
 
Some stupid are easily malleable. But stupid people do tend to be pretty sure of their abilities.
Miss this guy around here. RIP and a prayer for your family. Arguing with veerg about boiling steak in heaven.

Something reminded today about gerting ribbed by foul mike for breaking a shovel.

It doesn't take a strong back but a weak mind to break a shovel.

It wasn't another broken shovel though. 🙈🙉🙊
