I know that someone who isn't very curious isn't interested in learning is stupid, and someone who hears voices that don't exist is insane. But what about someone who is 100% sure that aliens live among us? That person may be insane, because the belief is totally detached from reality, or stupid, because that person didn't think things through.
Stupid has a simplistic view of reality, delusional (insane?) has an unrealistic view of reality.
So in my example is insanity.
