Stupidity, contrary to many people's thoughts, is something that must be attained, just like wisdom. We can be ignorant, but that's not stupid. We can be less gifted intellectually, but that's not stupid either. I think you hit on it. Stupid is not just the lack of wisdom; it's its antithesis. It takes real effort to achieve true stupidity.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
