Why are ignorant people so confident?

[ChefPapiChulo]

I really want to know what makes people so confident in their ignorance. It's like Trump supporters who know they're stupid and wrong about most things, and continue to be ignorant.

[Danzigdawson]

Because their knowledge is intentionally limited (i. e. education and museums are for queers); which make their whole world small, explainable, full of certainties. They like that kind of structured environment, well-defined boundaries. It makes them feel safe and, therefore, confident.

[Gospeedracer]

Because people that you call ignorant are usually telling the truth. People that tell the truth are confident because the truth is on their side while people that run around building straw man arguments calling people who disagree with racist, bigoted or ignorant to avoid answering questions are afraid of the truth exposing them.

[siseñor]

it's either that or accepting the fact that we know nothing and nothing matters

[ChefPapiChulo]

Who said nothing matters?

[DrPepper12]

It's called the Dunning-Kruger effect. They can't realize how dumb they are and as such express MASSIVE confidence in dumass opinions.

[ChefPapiChulo]

What happened to your old account?

[DrPepper12]

Hit a nerve? Truth always does.

[ChefPapiChulo]

What lol? I'm just asking you what happened to your old account.

[DrPepper12]

Hit a nerve? Truth always does

[ChefPapiChulo]

When are you going to recover from your schizophrenia and alcoholism?

[DrPepper12]

Soon as I get on Trumps "tremendous, cheaper" healthcare plan...

[ChefPapiChulo]

Be safe brother, i'll pray for you.

[DrPepper12]

Why waste time? Do something productive instead of beg an illusion for things.

[MemeMaester]

*Asks question about "ignorant people"*

Says ignorant shit like "Trump supporters who know they're stupid"

[ChefPapiChulo]

Do you know what ignorant means? I don't think you do.

[MemeMaester]

Yeah, you

[David94358]

He has no idea what ignorant means because his example shows his own ignorance.

His example was Trump supporters know they are wrong, well if they know they are wrong that's not ignorance, that's lying

So his whole question was showing his own ignorance lol what a collosal failure

[Flatmanlewis]

I think you have no idea how ironically humorous your question is. You, good sir, are a true obtuse. You entertain me in your thickness.

[ChefPapiChulo]

I think you might fit the stereotype. Talk a bit more please so I can verify it.

[Flatmanlewis]

No need. I don’t care for the palaver. Good day.

[strateguy632]

it is like a poker bluff they pretend "you need to convince me".
but in real debate the one making the claim must support the claim or LOSE THE DEBATE.

[normalice]

Anger provides the illusion of confidence and addiction to anger is how right wing media keeps their viewers ignorant.

[David94358]

What things are they wrong about? Can you give examples?

[JacobJordan]

I presume you have examples? Sources? Specific things to mention?

[ChefPapiChulo]

Do you know what a generalized comment is?

[JacobJordan]

Of course I do. So I gather then that you do not have sources, examples, or specific things to mention. Mighty confident question to post considering you are presently displaying the same qualities you asked about. I'll throw you a bone though. 1 issue ignorant people show extreme confidence on is abortion. Abortion worldwide has 2 widely accepted moments. Imminent threat to maternal health or major issues with the baby (as in it would not survive to term or would not survive birth, organs outside the body.) The remainder of abortions are hazy depending on where and who you ask. But worldwide those 2 are accepted even in third world countries with very little rights. Yet many claim total blocking of abortion and confidently

[ChefPapiChulo]

Thanks for providing an example.

[JacobJordan]

Of course.

[MrDaveAPSI]

Because even the dumbest people speak with confidence. Which girls are attracted to, more than smarts

[itsclearlynicholas]

They're compensating for what they potentially know they lack - brain much lol 🧠

[MrDaveAPSI]

@itsclearlynicholas Right

[itsclearlynicholas]

Dr Evil? 👀👀👀👀🤔

[VV3ZZY123]

Politics has nothing to do with it. There are ignorant people on both sides.

[elaphe]

They don't know that they should not be confident, hence the ignorance.

[itsclearlynicholas]

Defence / defense mechanism as they likely know somewhat they are or may be, dumber than most brains 🧠

[coachTanthony]

Half the country are ignorant? lol

[ChefPapiChulo]

No. Not all Trump voters are ignorant. There are some who just vote because they wouldn't vote for Biden.

[ChefPapiChulo]

But yes, a vast majority of them are.

[coachTanthony]

I hope trump wins am I ignorant? If so what am I ignorant about exactly?

[ChefPapiChulo]

Well you can reread what I said a few times.

[coachTanthony]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[gorydetails]

You confidently posted this question, didn't you.

[ChefPapiChulo]

This is how I know this is a bot. All I had to do was mention Trump and it posted on my question because of its keyword search function.

[Danzigdawson]

Said he, confidently.

[Tamera952]

Dunning-Kruger effect.

[itsclearlynicholas]

False bravado 👀💪🏻😆

[itsclearlynicholas]

"and with nothing to lose" - awful people sigh 😞😔

[EndlessVoid20]

No idea but they sure are!
