When I was younger, I used to think most people were dumb as well. But then you realize that you are just as dumb sometimes, and your most cheerished people can be as well. It's just human nature. Thinking everything and everyone is dumb can probably be characterized as being stupid, since you're not thinking about this very deeply.

The issue is conflating words "sometimes" and "systematically". Being stupid systematically and a majority of the time is, well, stupid.

I don’t think everyone is dumb. Just most people.

As far as not thinking about it deeply goes, that’s a strong claim that you haven’t supported at all.
