You may have heard the phrase, “You can’t fix stupid.”
I don’t believe that.
Call me a naive optimist, I believe stupid is fixable.
First, you need to admit that you’re stupid.
That causes a lot of anxiety.
It shouldn’t.
Everybody is stupid sometimes.
Everybody.
But morons can’t see their stupidity.
They haven’t been taught how to identify stupid.
They don’t know what it looks like.
With practice, you can recognize stupid at a glance.
Stupid says things like:
Please feel free to continue voicing your opinion, with the understanding that we are not going to change ours.
Let’s read that again.
Please feel free to continue voicing your opinion, with the understanding that we are not going to change ours.
A sure sign of stupidity is certainty that your opinion will not change.
If you’re telling the truth, there’s no point in continuing to “voice my opinion”.
No reasonable argument will alter your thinking.
You cannot be persuaded by new information.
Do you think like this?
It’s important that you answer honestly!
Are you never going to change your opinions?
Then you’re stupid.
I’m not trying to upset you.
I believe stupid is fixable.
That’s just my opinion though.
You are free to disagree.
But if you do…
…is there anything that might change your mind?

I’m pumped by your question… There is so much fertile ground here, both for straight answers and jokes.
I ask for wisdom, yet placed within the infinity of God, and creation, my mind boggles and I have the brain of a nematode compared to Him.
This is a good one!
I started to write a thesis, then deleted it to spare you😂
I think there are other words for this: mulish, pigheaded, bullheaded, obstinate, obdurate…. Unfortunately, none of them are synonyms for intelligent, nor are they the least bit helpful in finding truth, which is the only thing that makes us free human beings.
It is said that an argument is what convinces reasonable men and a proof is what it takes to convince even an unreasonable man.
Then there are Atheists who are persuaded primarily through memes they find on Twitter.
Sometimes, all you can do is pray.
Should prayer be considered an argument or a proof?
That’s actually quite brilliant! Simple and obviously true.
Thanks.
Of course I’m willing to change my opinions. So long as you provide ample evidence as defined by and tailored to exactly what my fickle little brain desires. PS. And those will change if you get too close.
I will change my opinions if you find an “expert” who agrees with you, who completely agrees with me…
If you only manage to find an expert who FORMERLY agreed with me, and then changed his/her mind when the evidence favored your perspective, that’s not good enough. You must find an expert who says exactly what I’m saying to support your case.
Because it is rational to base ALL my beliefs on the opinions of experts.
Yes!
Specifically experts who share ALL of my opinions!
…if they don’t agree with me, they’re probably indoctrinated Theists!
#Logical
But if they don’t agree with me…I can always copy stuff out of context and make it seem as if they do.
It doesn’t matter because I’m stupid anyway.
I just sent you an article on Facebook about how scientists are interestingly unable to replicate each other’s experiments.
It’s interesting!
Apparently even the “experts” are known to make their experiments seem as though they agree with them, even when they don’t…
Iiiiinteresting.
…I think you mean Aaaaawkwaard.
