One doesn’t need to look too far to find acts of stupidity where common sense has taken a backseat. You can easily find facepalm-worthy moments of popular celebrities online. But it’s not just them; most of us, at some point have acted foolishly.

However, it’s ignorant people who don’t take time to pause and reflect. They often stick to their opinions, no matter how irrational they sound. These people are oblivious to their own shortcomings. Sometimes when they are presented with a chance to learn and grow, they find it difficult to break free from their usual habits.

Reasoning with such stubborn people can be quite frustrating. And some people deal with these hopeless instances by calling out stupid people online. Just like members of the r/facepalm group, who have been doing this since August 2009. In the last 15 years, they have amassed a community of more than 8 million people, who often share the most disappointing moments they have witnessed.

But what exactly is stupidity? It’s when our ability to learn and understand things gets messed up. Several prominent psychologists believe that cognitive limitations are the reason behind people’s foolish actions and irrational beliefs. Research highlights how human cognition and decision-making persistently cause these biases. Depending on the situation, people switch from quick, intuitive thinking to slow, logical thinking.

Now, our brain’s frontal lobes are responsible for rational thinking. But it can be overridden by the amygdala, a small, almond-shaped structure that usually processes emotions, like fear and aggression. Neuroscientists noted that in emergencies requiring quick decision-making, slower, rational information processing is ignored by the brain.

*Don’t forget to ban viagra. If you have a limp noodle, that’s an act of God too. And men: take responsibility for your sperm. Think twice before giving it away. After it’s given away, it’s not yours anymore.

Since when are the American Christians against genital mutilation? Genital mutilation is the norm in the US. I believe about 60% of male infants and 80% of male adults have been circumcised.

You're probably being snarky, but I bet the OP is referring to trans surgery. I wonder if they also object to breast implants.

As respectfully as is warranted, in at least the US this is the same thing. Sadly you can't gatekeep who worships your deity. It may not be *SPECIFIC BRAND OR CHRISTIANITY*, but it's absolutely Christianity. It's long past the time to claim that those people aren't associated with you.

Hear me out, just trying to understand same-sex mirage. Is it if you are a girl and see another girl in the desert? Seeing your same sex. Or is it seeing a gay couple in the distance referring to both those people being same sex in the mirage? I think we need a government study on this. It's my tax dollars and I want to know!

IVF often enough results in a multiple pregnancy to the point where many fertility treatments will stipulate that in the event of an unsafe multiple pregnancy (like quintuplets+) that the number of viable implanted embryos will be reduced to a safe number. To certain weirdos, this is equivalent to human sacrifice.

Dude, banning all that stuff is NOT love. It’s not even close. It’s hatred. Worse, you’re using the Lord to make it sound right. The God I believe in loves me and doesn’t want to condemn any part of me. Your God sounds like a real jerk and is the reason I won’t set foot in ANY church. I’m gay and I promise if someone tries to hit me with the holy water, I will scream like it burns. So, go lick a cactus. Sounds like it might be the only action you get for a while.

He's referring to sex-change surgeries in the PC right-wing way to de-legitamise the procedure. Consider in contrast how the term "gender-affirming" surgeries are used to legitamise the procedure.

So ban abortion to force people who don't want or shouldn't have children to have children and then ban IVF to force people who want children to not be able to have children. Okay, thanks.

I'd respect the Christian Taliban more if they just came out and handed women the red robes. At least it's more honest. Claiming to want to control women for religious reasons is the part that really angers me. Don't use your religion to scapegoat your hate.

Always look for people's reasons - that last one on genital mutilation sounds like a good thing but it is not coming from a girl protection angle but an anti Jewish circumcision angle.

So, cognitive biases can help us understand some of the stupid decisions people make. For instance, people can be vulnerable to confirmation bias, where they tend to stick to information based on their existing beliefs. In such cases, they just ignore any evidence that contradicts them.

Imagine someone who strongly believes in a particular conspiracy theory. They will not think twice before dismissing any evidence or arguments that contradict their preconceived idea. This selective attention to available information can make them make nonsensical remarks.

While constantly scrolling through our phones, we might encounter false or misleading information presented as fact. In such cases, we might make stupid comments due to our inaccurate knowledge.

Before making any remarks, we should try and educate ourselves about the topic. This spares us the embarrassment of sounding foolish and helps us make a more thoughtful and informed choice. We should acknowledge our ignorance to confront the pitfalls of stupidity. Questioning our assumptions is a great way to have a more grounded perspective on life.

Self-awareness helps us gain deeper insights into our behavior. We can also try learning from our past experiences. Consider a scenario where someone made a foolish comment on Insta. People online called them out and corrected them. After this experience, the person might develop a habit of verifying facts before posting them.
