[Avodah] Assur to be Stupid

[Saul.Z.Newman at kp.org]

a  rav once  pointed out  to us  that  there are issurei  deoraita  on 
shvuat  sheker , shvuat shav ,  and  dvar sheker.    defining shvuat shav 
as stupidity ---
swearing  2+2 =  6  for example.    those  3  are assur. the tora does not 
delineate  a  'midvar shav  tirchak'.    so at least there is no  tora 
prohibition of  stupidity and naarishkeit --- though the rabbis would 
doubtless consider it  a poor midda....
