Idiots

[Billy&The CloneasaurusParticipant]

I’m always wanting to learn new things. If I don’t know much about a topic, I shut my mouth and listen to those that do.

Apparently this is a rare trait. I should know better than to debate these idiots, but it just riles me up.

The type of people I’m talking about would debate an experienced cardiovascular surgeon about surgical techniques, whilst wielding less than a high school diploma.

Apparently, google makes these f~~~tards think they’re intelligent.

There is nothing more pathetic than a wanna-be expert.

Ok…maybe manginas or white knights…but still.

F~~~ these idiots.

The answer, is no.

Wisdom grants you the serenity to remain silent when you have ample reasons to criticize.

Often experts are forced to cultivate skills that demand patience and non-judgmental approach because the pseudo-experts embarrass themselves quite often in their presence. Yet the expert still needs to get his message across.

Dealing with people from all facets of life is very important for success.

That advice gave me a wealth of knowledge past several college degrees! Like the first Startrek movie when the NASA Voyager space probe came back as an artificial intelligence able to vaporize planets!

I can sympathize with your frustration, Billy.

Good thread Billy and I admit to feeling that same way. Surrounded most of the day by either Faculty or Students, one constantly hears people speaking 1/2 truths and misconceptions about topics.

It’s not only Google and staying at a Holiday-Inn Express ….

The Dunning-Kruger effect identified in 1999 and shared in a 2003 paper “Why People Fail to Recognize Their Own Incompetence.

“The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias wherein persons of low ability suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their cognitive ability as greater than it is.”

Confucius: “Real knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance”

It’s real, it’s out there and it’s coming to a gathering of people near you soon.

What really p~~~es me off is when you flat out prove the “know-it-all” person wrong and it is then obvious that they know they’re wrong, but they keep arguing to try to save face. “Yeah, well, but……” I work with a guy like that. He wants everyone around him to literally think that he knows it all. He’s young. He went to a nothing little college and got a useless degree in stupid s~~~.

He claims to be a farmer with cattle. He didn’t believe me when I told him that cows don’t have an upper row of front teeth. He argued with me relentlessly. I walked away. I came back later and caught him looking it up on the net. He actually admitted defeat, but was very childish about it…..pouting actually.

The evil in women’s hearts leaves them no moral bounds as to inhibit them from descending to the lowest levels of darkness to acquire their self entitled desires.

It’s an actual phenomenon?

I get frustrated on a daily basis dealing with these people. I truly don’t know why people can’t admit ignorance…I’m ignorant in almost everything. Ask me about a car engine, and I’ll most likely say “I don’t know”. This doesn’t reflect on my ABILITY, just my knowledge. I don’t know much about car engines. Big deal.

I won’t wade into a thread discussing how to fix cars. I’m ignorant. I’ll listen, and hopefully learn something.

A man who is unable to listen, when he knows nothing, and yet submits his opinion, is not a man.

The answer, is no.

Yes it is. This is an example of some of those facts of life that cannot be made up.

http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1111/1467-8721.01235

Excerpt from the abstract:
“Successful negotiation of everyday life would seem to require people to possess insight about deficiencies in their intellectual and social skills. However, people tend to be blissfully unaware of their incompetence. This lack of awareness arises because poor performers are doubly cursed: Their lack of skill deprives them not only of the ability to produce correct responses, but also of the expertise necessary to surmise that they are not producing them. People base their perceptions of performance, in part, on their preconceived notions about their skills. Because these notions often do not correlate with objective performance, they can lead people to make judgments about their performance that have little to do with actual accomplishment.”

“The admission of ignorance is the beginning of wisdom.” “The only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing.” I think both of those quotes came from Socrates.

You make yourself look really stupid when you pretend to know everything. The smarter man will admit that he doesn’t know something.

If you know everything, you can learn nothing.

As long as you’re alive, you should be able to keep learning. There is a s~~~load of stuff I don’t know, but I can learn to do anything.

If I have learned anything in this life it is when to keep my mouth shut ( which is most of the time ) why not remain silent & let people think your a fool then open your mouth and let them know for sure. if I kept my mouth shut & minded my own business I would have saved my self a lot of pain & suffering. I dont want to be a genius. I just want to be smarter than everybody else. What insufferable idoits those people are.

Wisdom is knowing that you don’t know everything.
And there’s no need to.
You could live 10 lifetimes and still not learn all there is to know.
I strive to develop patience. .it’s more valuable than wisdom. .

[Billy&The CloneasaurusParticipant]

So, you’ve based wisdom, and intelligence on a degree?

Nice!

This was identified all the way back in Proverbs in the Bible. A fool always runs his mouth, a wise man stays silent.

Intelligent men always get sick of stupid men and women arguing with them, and so shut up. Then eventually all you have is stupid people babbling at each other. Nothing shows that more than MGTOW as a whole. The smartest, best, most capable men are opting right out. And that’s all it takes for things to come crumbling down. Just leave the idiots to everything and they’ll blow it all up. Serves the elites right for appointing idiots to authority everywhere, with the idea that idiots are easier to control. Same usual shortsighted elite stupidity that brought down the previous empires.
