The biggest problem is their unpredictability, they have no idea how dangerous they can be to others everytime they make a decision. Even intelligent people are unlikely to reasonably evaluate or deduct what they will do, what consequences there will be or even who will be affected.
EDIT:
This is a most quotable article.

Law 3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.
At the very least there is a level of satisfaction for doing something or acting according to your own will or rationale regardless of the end result. In that sense, one could argue that there are virtually no stupid persons in the world at all. Of course, there's also those that wish misery and misfortune purposefully, but I wouldn't call them stupid.

He's an economist, so his perspective is shaped by evaluation of gain and loss. There are sure destructive or even self-destructive people who are not stupid, there are even many self-destructive geniuses. But this is not an encylopedic definition, it's rather a tongue-in-cheek interpretation and something interesting to share.

Well, you more or less know what to expect from an economist  Of course an economist also knows that sometimes losing something is worth it when you prevent an antagonist from gaining something but that mostly applies to the business world. Outside of it, such a decision is more than likely to carry ill intent or immaturity.

How about those of us who does not cause losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses, nor do we underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals? 
Or those of us who do both?

Sorry, but this way it at least sounds a lot more like a super villain organization.
