I canβt believe how some people can be so smart about some things, but be so damn gullible about other things that they could easily debunk in their own head with about 1 minute of critical thinking. Cognitive dissonance is a hell of a drug! You could type out some set of facts in braille and jam it up their ass, and theyβll still believe the contrary, based on nothing more than myths and wivesβ tales that theyβve been spoon fed since they were a child. You canβt fix stupid!
However, there are some people who will defend any new belief to the bitter end no matter how preposterous a story is. They really arenβt especially smart about much of anything. All you have to do is tell these simpletons something thatβs technically worded using terms that they canβt even define and they will instantly embrace any bullshit story that you want to feed them. Just make yourself seem smarter and you can convince the lemmings to walk right off a cliff.
People are once again believing virus and pandemic bullshit, even though theyβve debunked all of that Covid-19 vaxing, masking, and social distancing bullshit over the past 5 years. These same sheep are back on their Trump is a fascist bullshit again, and not realizing that no fascist in history ever reduced the size of government. Itβs nothing more than a slur these days, they donβt even know what the word actually means. Much like that racist slur, slobbering idiots.
I also know a lot of home distillers who are more than well aware that all of the βdangerous levels of poisonous methanolβ in distillation is nothing more than prohibition era propaganda and old wivesβ tales. But believe that wiring up anything in their electric still is βdangerousβ and call themselves electrically challenged because of old wivesβ tales that they were fed as a child. Circuit breakers really are your friend, a couple itty-bitty sparks honestly canβt kill you.
People really do seem to have selective gullibility. I canβt understand how a person can have basic common sense, yet intentionally believe glaring painfully obvious bullshit. I also canβt understand how somebody can be an expert in an extremely complicated field, yet still be bamboozled by cheap parlor tricks, word games, and double-speak. If one of them became an orphan before mom and dad spilled the beans about Santa Clause, theyβre completely screwed now.
I try to help people when and where I can if I see that theyβre allowing an irrational fear prevent them from being self-sufficient. But if they insist on hiding behind their cognitive dissonance and hanging on to that irrational fear, fuck βem and feed βem fish heads. Donβt be an ask-hole, donβt waste my time asking how to solve a problem that youβre having and continue to be too lazy or pretend to be too afraid to help yourself. Youβre responsible for your own happiness!
