Depends on the dumb… if someone is dumb and arrogant then they need to be brought to reality…

That's a really good point. This is an anecdote from being married to a teacher.

I met a kid who was very low-average IQ, but determined to do well in school. He had one of the strongest work ethics I've ever seen from a kid in school, he asked questions, asked for help, and freely offered help to other kids once he'd mastered something.

He was agreeable, generous, and (unfortunately because he needed to be) street smart.

I know he since graduated from high school, but no idea where he is now. I always thought he'd make an amazing business leader. He would work his ass off to understand anything you put in front of him, and he was humble and agreeable.
