Are some people more stupid than others?

Stupidity is not a measure of comparison among people; it is the nature of the mind itself, asleep in its identification with memory. True intelligence awakens only when we transcend the mind and embrace the present moment with awareness.

— Osho
According to Osho, stupidity isn’t a comparative trait between people; it is the very nature of the mind itself. Whether full of information or blank, the mind is asleep, identified with memory and past—hence stupid. Intelligence appears only when awareness awakens beyond mind, in self-knowing presence. So the real divide isn’t more-or-less stupid, but asleep versus awake, reaction versus responsive here-now seeing.

We all look “stupid” when lost in our minds; real smartness comes from waking up and being fully aware right now.
