    This sounds like “facts don’t care about your feelings,” which almost always goes on to cite cherry-picked/non-sensical/incorrect “facts.”

      Plus there is no group more concerned with their feelings than those people. They’re the same ones who demand common sense despite the fact the true functioning of the world is so often not intuitive and those random idiots who can barely spell half the time probably aren’t gunna be making any genius decisions.

        Look, I got no beef with someone who can’t spell “emotional intelligence”. My problem is with people who refuse to learn it

          It was just to point out that these people are both not the most knwledgeable and also very sure that they know everything or are far too confident even when they say “I’m no expert, but…” and use said confidence to ignore anything which might educate them.

          Otherwise yes, there are people without the knowledge to spell well who are quite intelligent, absolutely.
