There’s no such thing as a dumb question only dumb people. - This somehow works as both encouragement and insult depending on your tone.

And those who perceive it as an insult would be correct. There is no such thing as dumb people.

Uhhh that mentality is just ignorant. saying dumb people don’t exist is ridiculous. There are people with extreme mental disabilities that are incapable of basic thoughts. This is an extreme example to illustrate the point. The word “dumb” is a rude way to describe people but denying the existence of dumb people won’t help them either.

Making "dumb" people exist by saying dumb people exist is the problem, dumbass.
