(22,112 posts)intelligent, have a reasonable ability to digest facts etc.), when in fact, their decision making abilities are already handicapped severely. Unfortunately, despite all of the advanced learning, they have failed in the very basic concept of viewing facts and knowledge, and deciding on what's true and what's false.
These people have blinders on full tilt, which means everything they view and see of the daily world in which we live, is tempered by their distorted view of the world.
Sometimes you need to call them down on it. I've done this w/ a good friend of mine who is a reasonably smart retired doctor, who backed down quickly when I challenged him on something he said, who then realized that what I said was in fact, true, vs. what his thinking was.
If you don't deal w/ these people, then how are we able to challenge their false and oftentimes, wrong snapshot of the world in which we live?
