The Truth Why Stupid People Think They're Smart

[AmR]

Do not correct a fool or he will hate you; correct a wise man, and he will appreciate you. - Bruce Lee

“It’s hard to win an argument with a genius. It is impossible to win an argument with an idiot.” - Joe

[Rob_Otter]

Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.”
― Mark Twain

[BobbyEyes]

My grandpa used to say stupid people that thought they were smart were the most dangerous. He worked on oil rigs in the late 70’s and had so many stories of guys that wouldn’t listen to anyone and got hurt, sometimes badly.

"An intelligent person learns from everyone and everything. An average person learns from his/her own experiences. An idiot knows everything" Socrates

[marcin]

This video made me realise how intelligent I am, to the point I started doubting my intelligence due to the possibility of me overestimating it. Doubting it made me even more confident in my intelligence, in fact I am so confident in my intelligence now, that I must be stupid.

Stupid people taught me the best lesson in life that has made everything go a lot smoother, the fact that being right is overrated. You notice how it’s easier to walk downhill rather than uphill. Somebody who is not on your level will always have an easier time bringing you down to their level than you can bring them up to yours.

“The aim of argument, or of discussion, should not be victory, but progress"

"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."

"Being stupid is like being dead. You're not aware of it and it's only difficult for the others."

[benjaminseverinsen]

This makes sense and might explain why people tell me I'm an arrogant asshole when I never gloat or speak highly of myself and without diminishing or denigrating the person I am speaking with.

[dinoprimi]

I feel like a truly intelligent person doesn’t engage in an argument with the goal of “winning”, rather they do it to put their thoughts under scrutiny to see if it can hold up, and if it doesn’t, they change their thinking to what is most logical.

"A fool thinks himself a wise man, but the wise man knows himself a fool" - A dude I can't remember

[Evren_]

this reminded me of a quote from a video game i play

"the wise person does not know, but seeks knowledge always"
wisdom and intelligence come hand in hand usually, those who know are usually willing to learn more, and those who think they know believe they know everything already

Arguing with a genius is difficult, arguing with an idiot is imossible

[samyakchhajed]

I can't tolerate people thinking they are oversmart and bringing down my logical points by just saying NO. I'm alone, and sad, can't tolerate anymore.

[adamt]

I’m always listening and keeping my opinions to myself because I don’t think I’m that smart because I compare myself to people I think are. I am no idiot and I’m smart enough to stay out of certain conversations.
