the only renewable resource humanity has never struggled to produce at scale
means the quality or state of being foolish, slow to understand, or lacking in good sense or judgment.
from From "stupid," which traces back to the Latin "stupidus," meaning amazed, struck senseless, or dazed — itself from the verb "stupere," to be stunned or numb, as if knocked dumb by a blow. The same root quietly powers "stupor" and "stupefy," all sharing that image of a mind gone blank. So at its heart, stupidity isn't quite about lacking brains — it's about being so dumbstruck you can't use them.
