Why is arguing with a fool a losing proposition?
Galileo understood something essential that modern psychology confirms today:
The fool does not seek to learn.
It seeks to win, dominate, or humiliate.
Intelligent thinking
Change the rules of the game
When he loses arguments, he resorts to mockery, shouting, or personal attacks.
It drags you down to its level.
And there… he has the advantage .
The wise man loses when he enters a fight that does not elevate, but only wears him down.
