Ignorance

Discussion in 'Philosophy' started by Smokes a lotta trees, Dec 1, 2014.

  1. How do you deal with ignorance? When it comes to people's rights and ferguson and religion? When people think things but they are wrong because they don't have all of the information. How do you not want to get angry when you show them the evidence but people don't believe it.

    Well, usually I lay it flat out as to how and why they are wrong and could be mixed up. It's also important on your delivery, how to make them think a certain way...yadda yadda. It's become increasingly important for me to realize that I can only change myself and work with myself, I may help others and try and guide them a certain way, but ultimately it is their choice. Do not get caught up on how you could not convince someone, rather know you gave them your best shot, and they are now left with the choice.
     
    Meh, that's how I see it at this point in time, 7:55 PM Tues. Dec. 2nd, 2014.
     
    Edit: "why bring ignorance where we're invited" ignorance serves ego, its a fools tool.
     
  3. I just get angry in my head about all of their bullshit then make bitchy, but subtle passive-aggressive comments to their face.
     
    I'm a cunt.

    I try to educate to an extent, and if that doesn't work I just let them know they're stupid and ignore them. You can't fix stupid.

    I usually ignore it.They don't know the same info as you,have the same experience as you,nothing is as you.That's why they think differently.Also that's why people think other people are stupid.
    The only way for someone to know something is by experience,they themselves should convince themselves.Then by coincidence you will both have the same point on something.Talking to them to prove your point will never do it.That's a reason why the world is fucked up,and people are different and have different opinions than others.Nobody get's along.
     
  6. Often I try and show someone why....then there's times I let it slide, but to you above, why not try sometimes? And change your approach as well...help yourself. ..
     
  7. Just let it happen
