Don’t mistake stubbornness for ignorance. Many people are too proud to ever be wrong.
they just look at you, like the memes
I blame most of it on the colonization of human attention.
Ray Bradbury was writing scary stories about big screen TVs and ear buds in the 1950s.
Pass that shit, ‘Squatch, you ain’t the only one.
Fuckin’ Bogartfoot over here, am I right?
Its scary honestly.
Smart people know that “I don’t understand” is much more likely than “they don’t make sense”.
“Other people are stupid” is a flattering explanation to the incurious mind.
Are you smart enough to assert this?
I always love the coments on posts like this, you can always tell exactly who you’d want at the function.
Assuming other people are stupid is a sign of un-curiosity imo. There’s usually a reason behind other people’s action. Not necessarily a good reason, but a reason
I like your take and agree, but I’ll say you can assess the rationale and experiences that lead some people to think like they do and understand them… and still conclude that it’s stupid. Note I say that “it’s “ stupid referring to the reasoning, not necessarily the person. I know people who are smart enough or competent in some ways, but they arrive at really stupid conclusions and do or choose stupid things.
This makes no sense. Some people are stupid. Are you saying there are no stupid people? Because unless you are your statement makes no sense. And if you are that makes me question your stupidity.
I don’t think there are no stupid people. I think stupidity is more nuanced than just “this person is stupid”. It’s always worth to think about why someone made a choice, even if it seems stupid. Maybe you realize it’s not so stupid after all. Or maybe you understand why the person made a stupid choice, and the deeper flaws that led to it.
In the words of J. R. “Bob” Dobbs, “You know how dumb the average guy is? Well, by definition, half of ‘em are even dumber than that”
not how averages work but probs cuz there’s a lot of people to bakance out… ig.
How smart would you bet on the median guy being?
