Educate the ignorant

Why is it so difficult to have a conversation in 2022 without people trying to slap a label on you?

Like if I’m slow (which I really am) teach me. I’m not insulting you or anything, I may however be ignorant, hence I’m slow, hence my questions are slow but it’s only because I’m trying to do 2 things,

1. Put my understanding across and
2. Learn from you

So if during our conversation my ignorant questions rub you wrong, stop the conversation, tell me I’m being ignorant and it bothers you, then teach me how not to be ignorant.

Too many people are privileged with accurate information that for some reason feel insulted when my ignorance asks ignorant questions.

I also know that there are loads of people who use their ignorance as a means to mock but I’m hardly one of those and you can tell the difference between the 2 because one doesn’t care for what you’re saying they just mock and the other person is genuinely asking cause Wow what you’re saying is mind blowing and I can feel my brain expand its limits.

But no, it’s easier to be angry and end the conversation by name calling me because that’s the box I fit into and honestly it’s counterproductive. That is also why a lot of movements are like they are secret societies, the ones who don’t know anything will ask ignorant questions.

And if truly you want to help them understand your cause, have the difficult conversation and teach them so they can learn and do better otherwise y’all will keep having meetings amongst yourselves and handing out participation trophies rather than actually making progress.

Thank you for coming to my talk🙏🏾
