I think it is more ignorance than stupidity as one is a chosen trait and the other given... In retrospect, we are most well off than we have been in the past as a species. While scary to consider this given what we see today; it is more the fact of available information due to the spread of technology. Evolution will continue until we achieve what is needed to survive but what is unsure is whether our ignorance will catch up to us and destroy what sustains us (Earth) despite no longer destroying each other?

Yep.
I also think that ignorance may be potentially overcome with intelligence. IQ might not be a great indicator overall but it is what there is at the moment. We are now heavily directing our own evolution through a whole lot of introduced factors, including the pollution we create. who knows what genetic code gets triggered and what it will present.
