To clarify the difference between crazy and stupid:
What is stupidity other than a relative inability to solve problems? How is crazy not just a particular kind of stupid?
Stupidity means having less knowledge and/or fewer reasoning processes to work with, and so reaching fewer and/or less complicated conclusions. Craziness means reaching incorrect conclusions, due to incorrect knowledge or processes.
Thanks. That does shed light on the distinction for me.
