have you ever been in an argument with
someone and you were like this is the
dumbest person I have ever seen how can
he get such an obvious thing we run a
lot into such arguments especially when
discussing politics religion or social
issues in general so let's try to
understand why dumb people are dumb why
can they see the obvious thing that we
are seeing the problem is that every
single of us thinks of himself as the
most rational human being ever because
we are by our nature our narcissists we
believe that the ideas and opinions that
we have came to over our lives are
entirely logical and whoever disagrees
with us is merely stupid it might sound
like I'm a bit exaggerating here but
trust me that's the truth when you
support a particular party or a
candidate I mean it seems so obvious
that this is the right candidate how
could you possibly vote for anyone else
especially when the other candidate is
saying so much nonsense and trash I mean
come on and the best part of it is that
whoever is on our side or supports our
point of view we believe that they came
to that conclusion by themselves
rationally but those who support a
different party are manipulated they
fall of that party because they have
been brainwashed and taken advantage of
and that was plainly obvious in the last
u.s. presidential election don't get me
wrong I'm not here undermining anyone
politics is just one of many examples of
how narcissistic we are of course
everyone is going to deny this because
you are an open-minded person who always
searches for the facts before believing
in something right however you never
look for the truth but instead you try
to find an evidence to back up what you
already know to back up your opinions
and claims and here is another thing the
funny part is that when we do something
stupid or irrational there are always
circumstances I mean you had the best
intentions but things just went out of
control and it's not your fault at all
it's the people the government the
universe it's their fault you
when someone else does something wrong
or exactly the same thing we easily
believe that they are stupid and
irrational and we do not even give them
the benefit of the doubt so to answer
our question people are not stupid
but our narcissistic nature pushes us to
believe that whoever disagrees with us
is simply irrational don't get me wrong
I'm not trying to offend anyone here but
instead I'm trying to help you to
understand yourself because when you
understand who you are by nature and
recognize the problem you can try your
best and learn to be less biased because
compared to other people you understand
that you're influenced by your emotions
and you could be entirely wrong so what
I'm telling you that this course is
excellent and you should watch it you
should go and check it out instead of
saying I know what he's going to say
because you can get it for free if you
use the link in the description that was
a very smooth transition isn't that
anyways the point isn't to promote the
course no matter what you do you will
still be affected by your emotions but
you will come to respect others more and
you will be more open to new ideas and
experiences that's all for today make
sure to give this video a huge like if
you have enjoyed it and turn on your
notification thanks for watching and I
will catch you guys in the next one
