You’d think they’d be embarrassed by their lack of knowledge, but they are not. There’s a great book called “The Triumph of the Airheads” by Shelly Gare, which you can still get on Amazon, which takes a serious look at these people. The problem is that the massive gaps in their knowledge do not stop them from becoming politicians, teachers, actors, influencers, or anything else. You should read the book to get a complete understanding of the ignorance and arrogance of some of these. It usually starts in the schools where children don’t get all the red marks they deserve “because it will demotivate them”. How will they know they got it wrong if it’s not marked as incorrect? A recent ad on T.V. states, “37% of students say that negative feedback demotivates them, that’s why I’m changing it.” What? 67% of students don’t have a problem with that, and you want to change it? Isn’t that part of the problem? We are so sensitive to other people’s feelings that we try not to offend anyone. We end up offending or alienating the majority when we should support them. Causing people to believe that they know what they are talking about when they don’t is causing disruptions in our society that will not go away in a hurry. It’s time to offend them and call them out, not that they’ll believe you. Regards, P.S. One place where you can express your opinions without fear or favour is your blog. Yes, you will offend some.
