I used to be bad for trying to correct things I heard people talking about. It really bothered me when i'd hear someone saying some complete bullshit and everyone acting like this person was a genius. It never worked. They don't care and it doesn't matter. People want to live in a world they feel like they understand. If something comes along that breaks that they get scared and defensive.
I've really found it easier the older I get to just not give a shit. In the end, It doesn't matter what other people believe. If they're happy going through the world ignorant about the most basic things around them, then who am I to step in and change that? Just because you or I enjoy knowing how things really work and about the world around us doesn't mean everyone does.
- hellofunk 9y agoThat would be great if a person or a group's collective ignorance had no serious consequences. But when that ignorance puts people with like-minded ignorance in power, that no longer is benign.
- grawprog 9y agoYa you're right about that. But I'm pretty sure that's one of those ongoing problems we've had since we first started putting idiots in charge of our decisions thousands of years ago. I don't think anyone's found the solution to this problem yet.
