Knowledge is for using, not trying to impress others
For some reason, a lot of readers here observably struggle with the concept that knowledge is for self-utilisation, not for sharing with, educating, or trying to impress others.
READER: Good point about "women seem to only relate to things through themselves" I had a female friend who I thought liked me. But each time I began to talk about one of my problems she always began to talk about herself, without real interest for what I was saying. I always thought it was just her and not all women were like her. If you have not empathy and compassion from your wife, why to marry or have relationship?
SIGMA: Because you probably don't have it either. Most men don't. Are you going to simply not engage in human relations because most people can't read your mind?
READER: I struggle with this because everyone repeat everytime that women are more sensitive and attentive than men. It seems hard to demonstrate in a conversation.
SIGMA: MPAI. Most People Are Idiots. Why would you care what everyone simply repeats without ever once even thinking about it?
READER: Yes. So when a group of people say things like that, do you stay silence or do you have to react to try to fight the stupidity?
SIGMA: I ignore it and keep my mouth shut. I don't argue with dogs every time they bark either. I don’t care what they think and it's not my job to be the reality police. The very idea of fighting the stupidity is itself intrinsically idiotic, given the way in which the most obviously apt metaphor is King Canute trying to fight the sea.....
