Far too many people mistake their arrogance for intelligence

Truth is, you don't really need to know anything to have an opinion. Without compiling evidence, reasoning is essentially just mental mast*rbation.

I have a sister like that who shows her butt on FB all the time.

@cherokeepatti Anger and hatred act like a viral infection in the brain. It just continues spreading more and more toxicity until it kills off whatever was there before.

Social media is designed to cater to outrage. It's like the more full of hate people become, the more self-righteous they feel. Our egos are steering us straight towards the fall of Rome
Whoa now there's some truth. It also creates dramatic exaggerations.
Intelligence is like vision or any sense perception.
When I have limited perception, there's a lot I miss - and only sometimes does other evidence reflect that something's missing.
To the extent that I cannot see, I literally can't know what I'm missing.
So arrogance is a form of ignorance and absence of thinking skills.
The brightest people tend to be very modest because they know how infinite the realms of knowledge and thinking are.

That's why I don't get this obsession to know other peoples opinions and perspective. It doesn't change anything, it's just endless noise. Only if I were honestly looking for an answer to something. If I already know, I sure don't need endless opinions on it.

There are too many opinions and too little actions. This one included
Reasoning in combo with observability, measurabilty.

I agree. Logomachy is mental masturbation 😂

I'm tired of people passing off platitudes as intelligence and wisdom. "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink." Like oh wow, are you done jerking yourself off? 🙄

Isn't that your practice here, while you talk verbal diarrhea on some members, or ideas? Wouldn't it be easier to adopt, some don't get along?
