Nobody likes to see a stupid guy wise up.

Summary

This quote suggests that people often dislike witnessing someone they perceive as unintelligent or foolish suddenly becoming wise or knowledgeable. It implies that there is a certain level of satisfaction or comfort in being able to perceive oneself as superior or more intelligent than others. Therefore, when a person who was previously regarded as "stupid" or lacking in wisdom gains knowledge and insight, it may disrupt this dynamic and create discomfort or disapproval among those who preferred to maintain a sense of superiority.
