You can tell him he is not a deep thinker and that not to worry because many people aren't or you can not say nothing. Some people are just smart in different ways so unless you are a certified specialist in "smartness" and if he asks for your opinion only then should you tell him what you think. Until then I'd keep your mouth shut and worry about your intellectual level.

well, you first have to tell us WHY you think he's a dummy. THEN we can tell you how would be a soft way of putting it to him.

I don't understand why you would want to tell your friend he is a dummy. It doesn't sound like you are a very good friend.
