It’s funny that climate change deniers are some of the dumbest people on the planet despite often having rather difficult-to-attain engineering degrees or similar.

But there are two kinds of dumb, I’ve found.

There’s the “lol you’re mom is fat” Youtube commenter kind of dumb, and the other kind of dumb – the “gifted kid” engineeritis kind of dumb

All told, I mostly hate the latter kind of dumb more as it wastes far more of my time. The Youtube commenter species of dumb I can ignore from the moment my eyes see “lol.”

The engineeritis sort of dumb, which is really an ego inflammation, tends to make arguments that appear cogent and are often pseudo-erudite and sesquipedalian so much so that I might get three sentences in before I realize all the claptrap being spewed.

So this sort of dumb wastes far more of my time, and is thus more annoying.
