trying to get stupid

.
I have heard it said of others that "they devoted themselves to a life of wisdom."

But I have never heard it said, except, perhaps by stupid people, that someone "devoted himself to a life of ignorance."

It is possible to be stupid or ignorant, but can anyone direct their studies and efforts towards being stupid-er or ignorant-er?


And if not, what does this say about the wonders of wisdom?
