Ignorance is environmental, stupidity appears to be genetic. Though it is not easy and it may not be possible to determine if an action was ignorant or stupid, ignorance engenders stupid actions by individuals who are not stupid.

Get the Stupidsmug. A method to make oneself aware of certain things one was not aware of until one began speaking to oneself or others (and preferably recorded what one said) about something (to be able to analyze it).
Speaking extemporaneously to myself and audio-recording it has helped me realize certain things I was not aware of until I said them. That process is called "speaking to discover".

To society's detriment war is glorified by Hollywood and the media, but its glorification and "gorycealment" (concealing the bloody consequences of violence, as in Hollywood violence) also helps ensure that sufficient young taxpayers will enlist in the armed forces to protect the nation from or allow Americans to react adequately to, for example, the asinine invasion of Pearl Harbor in 1941, or other types of attacks individuals tend to find adjectives for. "Was it rational to attack the Japanese for invading Pearl Harbor," the professor asked. A student replied that if the U.S. hadn't attacked Japan, that empire would have grown stronger and as far away as the U.S. is from Japan, like the United Kingdom took back the Malvina Islands, Japan could have successfully invaded and conquered the U.S. So to imposibilize that, President Roosevelt did the correct thing by retaliating and inserting the U.S. into WWII. Some individuals suspect that glorifying war is an act of glorifrycation. So much for glorifry.

Get the Glorifrymug. The branch of science which studies how to make people, places, and/or things disappear and reappear where they disappeared from or elsewhere.
Mr. Nauyouseeim Nauyudount is one of the few people licensed to disappear and reappear. At a college which teaches Invisibility Science, he is giving a demonstration of his ability to disappear at will and tells the audience, "One second after I snap my fingers I will disappear." He snaps his fingers and vanishes. One loud “AHHH!” floods the auditorium as everyone present reacts to his announced disappearance. One minute later, he reappears on the opposite side of the stage from where he disappeared. Another loud “AHHH!” floods the auditorium as everyone reacts to his reappearance. "Any questions?" he asks the audience. A young lady stands up and asks him, "Where did you go when you disappeared?” "I went into a different dimension... which also exists in the same place where I disappeared from," he says.
