Dealing with Idiots

Question

How the fuck do you manage dealing with the plethora of stupid and downright ignorant people in our modern world. It drives me insane to the point where I can feel my head aching from the noise of it all. How to you shut out the bullshit when you don't want to forgive anyone for their ignorance. 

I often find myself ripping into people (verbal context) about how downright moronic they are, it never gets me anywhere obviously but the impulse just takes hold. 

 

How do you put up with stupid people?

I look down on most everyone, so my expectations of others is very low to begin with. If you can get yourself in that frame of mind, there stupidity will no longer affect you the way it has in the past.

The trick is.... to think yourself higher than then. If you don't take them seriously, you will feel much better.

I know that's difficult if you work for them, or have to answer to them. That's why I suggest starting your own company. I'd recommend a service based company since start-up costs are low, and service based businesses thrive in a developed capitalist economy.

Edit: Just read badboy's post... it seems mine wasn't even needed!

Idiots are rarely worth much effort.

Obviously it's fun to play with them and all but sometimes I just need to switch it off

"I'm a complete puritan and expect nothing less than perfection."

If you are what you claim above, then you should see yourself above their insults or whatever has you pissed off. Why let the meddling of the weak get to your head? 

As for tolerating the ignorant,  don't. I avoid people in general, but when asked I tell them of our indifferences. Another solution I find useful is imagining what their future will look like. It always gives me a good laugh and some mild entertainment.

Most of the humanity is ugly and stupid.

I'm being Captain Obvious here but just ignore them.

If you can't and you have to deal with a stupid person on a daily basis in that case play with them, troll them, manipulate them, have your fun with them. If they can't be useful they might as well be entertaining.

One instance for example where stupid people is useful it to get laid they kind of facilitate everything by being so gullible and stupid.

Indifference seems to be quite effective.

If they're bothering you, then that's your problem because you let them bother you.

Other people probably think you're stupid too. Maybe you should ask them how they deal with it.
