generally speaking stupidity isn't necessarily a hindrance on the battlefield, as long as someone can point a gun and follow orders they would be deemed hero's of the imperium.

political stupidity, however, is a whole different kettle of cheese. people who are objectively 'intelligent' but act like school children when they can't think of an answer or if someone challenges their principles or, god-forbid, people want them out of office. i really don't see the politicians of the far future being any different than they are now, except for maybe being way more childishly arrogant and and far less amenable to 'new' ideas.
