[Scoops Novel]

There are some people who just refuse to use logic if it means admitting they're wrong, or if the topic is vaguely emotional, or seemingly at random. Do you believe that idiots tend to work in the same way; or is each one a special snowflake?

Does it boil down to having no control of thier own emotions? In my experience people refuse to think the hardest about something that has the potential to be a negative thought, even if you explicitly state the implications are ultimately not negative. Are people afraid to think?

Or is the truth more on the lines of broken machinery; once you step on one of thier emotional tripwires, they're useless?

How well do you understand how a idiots mind works?

Something about this thread title having two errors in it just...

Well probably the biggest common theme is they think logic is real.

Aw man, I was hoping for a flat earth video.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I seriously cannot handle those videos. It is my guilty pleasure watching them, because I just have no way to understand how you can convince yourself that the world is flat.  If those folks don't really have that mindset, man they are actually world-class actors.

Each is a special snowflake but each is also "just another snowflake". Plenty of people realize the conversation is getting close to something that would make them feel "bad" or reveal something they want hidden, so they add emotions that are wrong for the situation into the discussion in an attempt to disrupt the conversation. They intentionally change volume and pitch of the emotions until they get one that works. If this tactic works, these people keep doing it. Some of these people become "broken machines", using their emotional outbursts in every situation without fore-thought. Regardless of how aware they are of their actions, it still boils down to misusing emotion outbursts to stop the conversation to avoid that "something".

Most kids spend years being the more thought-full version of these idiots, practicing on their parents.

Anewaname, going to share a comment i recieved on reddit that i think also has relevance.

"I believe there may be a lot with a sort of mental fog that makes it harder for them to think hard. Like pulling magnets apart. From what I've heard from talking to many, it seems like it is just so easy to "just exist and not use your thoughts very much" and it is super unmotivating to use your effort to pull those magnets apart and think about what you're doing.

Other than that I have no theory's"
