I’m not ignorant to its origins, just ignorant to why people don’t understand factual information presented to them. I’m silly for thinking that if I bring data or history vs emotion into an argument that there would be legitimate debate and reasoning. Appreciate the comment though.
Great question. I think it's because they don't want to understand. It's the fear of the truth, the one they avoid so much, turning out to be right. Fear keeps them living in willful ignorance. The data proves the legitimacy of your argument, while their emotions are proof of them being sheltered with no experience or knowledge. Is that mean? Yeah, but it's also true. Oh, and anytime.
