thumb|The Ass in the School – engraving after Pieter Breughel the Elder, 1556Caption: Al rijst den esele ter scholen om leeren, ist eenen esele hij en zal gheen peert weder keeren. ("Even if the Ass travels to school to learn, as a horse he will not return.")
Stupidity refers to a lack of intelligence or inability to learn, as suggested by the medieval proverb that an ass cannot become a horse no matter how much education it receives. The concept matters because it reflects historical thinking about whether people's fundamental capacities can be changed through learning and effort.
