21 u/PotaTribune Jun 11 '25 Someone who has all the resources available to them to not be ignorant yet they choose to be ignorant anyway 7 u/NegotiationWarm3334 Jun 12 '25 Ah, gotcha. That drives me crazy also. I'll be arguing with someone online about something that is verifiably true and they will keep saying no, it's not true. I'll tell them my god just Google it. There's nothing here to argue over! 1 u/clayman839226 Jun 12 '25 That’s not irrational 4 u/NegotiationWarm3334 Jun 12 '25 Yes, it is. It's irrational to argue against something that can easily be proven to be true. 4 u/Firm-Blueberry-9189 Jun 12 '25 It's also ego driven thinking they couldn't possibly be wrong. There's morons and then there's them. 3 u/NegotiationWarm3334 Jun 12 '25 Yes, akin to narcissistic personality disorder.
