The Most Accurate Way To Tell If Someone Is 100% Ignorant Without Saying A Word

Why not. I'm willing to reason with, dispute, or explain why I believe what you're against, and how it isn't ignorant.- They do not live in this reality; they live in their reality. -- I live in this reality. I understand my actions have reactions, and I understand they affect other people. However, my actions will influence my personal happiness and mental growth. I don't want to lead an unhappy existence in order to ensure other people's happiness. That does not make me ignorant, it means I care about myself.They expect the best for themselves and their clique; they expect the worst for everything else. -- I do not expect the worst for everything else. I expect the best for me, primarily, because I am the most important person in my life, always. I expect the best for my clique because they are the closest people directly related to me, and seeing their happiness in turn makes me happy, and like I said, my happiness is important because I am the most important person in my life. If everyone can make themselves happy, without sacrificing the well being of others, the world would be a better place. Me wishing the best for myself does not mean I wish the worst for everyone else.They do not solve issues that do not relate to their experience - most of the time, issues are not solved at all, or very reluctantly by having no choice, or by force of another. -- If I can see that I have made somebody else happy, I will be happy. By solving an issue, I make myself happy, whether I see it or not, I know I have solved it. However, donating money overseas, for example, I will not do so because I don't know for a fact that it is helping anyone, and in most cases, it goes to rebel leaders who do not distribute the money equally. I also don't gain any satisfaction from it, and it doesn't make me happy to possibly throw money away.They are distracted by everything except life. -- I'm not too sure what you're saying. I pay attention to everything, and do what I can to ensure I'm happy with life, and once I know I am, I make sure other people are too. They live in the past; plan for the future, with no regards for the present. -- I take from my past experiences to plan for the future. I do live in the present, but not only the present.They never learned how to not say anything when they do not have an answer to a question or circumstance; they say things, just to say something. -- Speaking your mind can be helpful in the sense that it continues the conversation or debate. Even if I have nothing to contribute directly to the topic at hand, I will say something to spark more of a discussion. They use quantity over quality. -- Sometimes more IS better. To use one over the other is ridiculous, to have a happy balance is just right.They use their heart over their brain. -- To ensure you are happy, you have to do so sometimes. Of course in most situations it is better to think logically than emotionally, but emotions are what keeps us stable. If I don't do what my heart wants, I could be very hurt, mentally.They are hypocritical and delusional. -- I would agree. They do not want to be criticized, while on the other hand, they criticize others. -- This is the same as being hypocritical. However, nobody wants to be criticized, hearing something bad about you is never a "happy" feeling. But, it can sometimes be necessary to ensure someone is happier down the road. "You should really work out." - Saying that can be rude or taken as an insult, but down the road, the person works out, gets fit, and is even happier than before because they were criticized.They do not argue; they grief. -- Sometimes being alone to think to yourself is necessary to ensure your own happiness.They choose dwelling over discipline. -- It isn't good to dwell on something for too long, however, it can actually help with closure, if you continuously go over every scenario or idea you can about that topic, as it helps your subconscious cope with what's happening.They do not construct; they deconstruct. -- To do this is ignorant, I agree. Their entire life is personal, not practical. -- Like I said before, there is nothing wrong with making sure you are happy before most other things. It is of course important to be practical and logical and rational, but making things personal? If it benefits you and doesn't hurt anyone else, go for it. They say they live life to the fullest, without understanding the notion that there is no such thing as "fullest" in a Universe beyond human comprehension - that such statements of absolution are solely a medium for compensation towards depravity of psychical security. -- The reason behind this saying is to ensure our own happiness. To live life to the "fullest" doesn't literally mean "the best possible life anyone or anything can have in the universe, it simply means to make the best of every situation. Whether it benefits you or more than just you, making the best of every situation is a pretty good thing. They have little to no experience / knowledge, yet insist they are right over those with mountains of experience / knowledge. -- Credibility doesn't lie on how much experience or knowledge you have; it lies on how valid your points are. I could argue about law with a guy who has a PhD at Harvard, and it's possible for me to still come out on top. However, if you have no idea what you're talking about, you're wrong, and have nothing to back yourself up with, yet insist you're right, then I would agree, you are being ignorant. They hold on; they do not let go. (It can differ from distinguishing where there weakness is, as some individuals hold onto A, but not Z; others hold onto Z, but not A. Albeit the purpose of doing so is verily accurate in both cases.) -- There is nothing wrong with holding onto thoughts or possessions, unless it hurts your conscience. If it helps you cope, and keeps you happy, then it's just fine. They do not reason; they rationalize. -- To reason with someone means to come to a mutual understanding, something that may not portray your point properly. I would much rather make sure they understand my point and I understand theirs than both of us throwing our ideas out the window to reason with eachother, a kind of "last resort." They interact with this Universe as to treat themselves or to turn it into a toy. -- Once again, making yourself happy is good. Taking advantage of other people or disregarding other humans feelings is not good though. They are pharisaic; they are not sympathetic. -- Why do we all have to by sympathetic? To what degree do we determine how sympathetic someone should be and when they should just not be sympathetic? If a guy kills a dog because it was running to his son, and he gets punched by the dog's owner, do you feel sympathetic for the guy, or not, because the way he thinks is he has to protect his son from a possibly viscous animal, but at the same time, the dog could have just been running to greet them. They live through other people's experiences and stories. (This is ironic considering how personal they are; however there is a difference between living in definition and living in desire.) -- To live through someone else's experiences is dumb. However; to take other people's experiences and incorporate them into your own life to better yourself is in no way a bad thing - it in fact helps you determine what kind of person you want to be, because you can base your actions based on how other people treat those kinds of actions. They choose money over mind; life over luxury. -- A choice is a choice, it doesn't make someone ignorant. To chose money over mind can make some people very happy, and to chose life over luxury can make some people very happy. There aren't any rules saying money is more or less important than your knowledge of the world around you. They rather do things that last temporarily than to do things that last a life time. -- Once again, it's a choice made by them, for them. Are you saying there's something wrong with doing many things to make yourself happy in the moment, a time period that you know you will be happy in instead of doing something that you may think at the time will make you happy forever?*I thought you said they have no regard for the present, to do something that lasts temporarily instead of planning for the future basically contradicts your earlier argument. When they fail, they dwell. -- Nothing wrong with contemplating why you failed and thinking about it as long as it doesn't get out of hand. When they win, they rub it in. -- That is the point of winning, but once again, it shouldn't get out of hand. They do not reason; they react. -- It is human tendency to react to a situation quickly without reasoning. Thinking about it afterwards is important though. They do not enter a discussion to debate ideas; they enter to express their disgust - they do not use evidence; they use emotion. They do not appeal to facts; they appeal to their feelings. -- I agree, this is stupid. They do not see with their brain; they see with their eyes. -- To base your actions based on what you see is sometimes more beneficial than defining everything going on. They do not have self-humility, self-recognition and self-discipline. -- I agree, this is bad, however your earlier arguments said basically they only think about themselves, now you say if they don't think about themselves, they're also ignorant. They never change. -- Sometimes change can be bad. They never become. -- Sometimes being who you already are is what makes you happy. They never let go. They never accept. -- You said this before I think, thinking to yourself is not horrible. They never think. -- Not thinking is bad, you're right. They never cared. -- Not caring about anything at all is bad. The only thing that matters to one whose life is shaped around envy and stupidity, is anything that distracts themselves from all of which advocated such -- Sometimes we need a distraction.
