There’s an old saying: “Never argue with a fool — onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.”
When someone is committed to misunderstanding you, debate becomes performance, not progress.
True intelligence isn’t proving you’re right.
It’s knowing when discussion is pointless.
Final Takeaway
If you want to win an argument with a fool, shift your definition of winning.
Stay calm. Ask questions. Refuse to escalate. And when necessary — walk away.
Because the smartest person in the room is often the one who doesn’t need to prove it.
