/qa/ - Question & Answer

Does anyone else feel an overwhelming hatred for human ignorance, anti-intellectualism, and pseudo-intellectualism? I’m talking about people who refuse to change even when presented with clear, rational evidence against their flawed mindset. Instead, they justify their wicked beliefs and actions, like those who defend genocide or child marriage under the guise of tradition or faith.
You see it in the culture wars, the gender wars, people from the same oppressed class turning on each other over distractions, while the elites watch comfortably from above. We’re so busy fighting each other that we forget the real war is economic, systemic, and class-based. People parrot whatever narrative they’re fed, they never question nor research their topic and make up shit as they move along as they dehumanize others for their fragile narratives. Yet these people are given equal right when in systems like democracy, because I guess their ignorance is somehow as valid as my awareness.
Another problem I have is that I struggle to connect with people because of how deeply I think about everything. Did you know that people with higher awareness and intelligence tend to be more antisocial? Not because of arrogance but because of existentialism. I don’t withdraw because I hate people, in fact I love humans. I don't interact because I see too much and know too much. I live with the constant weight of knowing how broken this world is, how a guy like me has the right mindset but doesn't have the willpower to act.
Regular people are like ships anchored to their harbor of realist goals and ambitions. But for me, I’m like a massive cruise ship, drifting in an endless ocean, no land in sight. I'm all brains no brawn. I can't participate in anything in a way that satisfies me. Ignorance is bliss and I wish I stayed ignorant.
