One of the greatest tragedies of the modern world is that intelligent people are so absorbed by self-doubting and requestioning their every action, while people with far less intelligence and abilities are being loud and confident. We can’t really say if it was always like that, but it is borderline lunacy out there.

Just look at all these influencers and reality stars. We’ve come to a point where people listen to medical advice from YouTubers instead doctors.

And it is getting worse. But, to be honest, these influencers and reality stars wouldn’t be so popular if they didn’t have a fitting audience.

They’ve made them into stars, and we all have to pay the price. Dumb people are getting louder and louder.

And there is no way to avoid them. They are willing to defend their beliefs to death, while not understanding why they have them in the first place.

And when you confront them and ask for an explanation, you will mostly hear - you wouldn’t understand. One Redditor asked, “What’s a thing dumb people say that makes them think they sound smart?”

We’ve chosen some of the most interesting answers, and we just know you will agree.

Someone asked:

Reaction is a win?

Also not getting a reaction is a win for these people...

But then again, we wouldn't understand...

But if we think about it - it is pretty obvious:

We don't want to use big words, but...

To make us sound like we are intellectuals:

We don't want to go to far, though :)

This sounds so true. When they have nothing to say, they just pull out their IQ as an argument

We've all been guilty of doing something stupid in the past. Things that keep us awake at night or make us cringe during the day.

Remember that embarrassing thing you did in middle school that had everyone laugh at you? Let's spend the next four hours agonizing over it and fantasizing how things could not have gone any worse and how everyone is still laughing at you.

Getting some perspective, on the other hand, can set us free.

Do your own research - YouTube is a trustworthy source

And educate yourself...

By its very definition:

But, according to Freud...

For all intensive purposes

Mute Point

Yeah, those people always think they are the smartest in the room...

One of the biggest questions of our time is not whether AI would eliminate humans, or whether there is some form of life living out there. It's rather why so many of us, despite being well into our adult lives, surrounded by all kinds of info, still have no clue how about anything.

More tragically - they believe they know everything. And simply because they've done their "research."

We would like to change our first sentence. In fact, artificial intelligence is very important for humankind's future because we can't really rely on human intelligence, can we?

We leave you with that thought. Scary, right?
