I was talking with a friend the other day about politics and economics. She has never studied either subject, but went on to tell me that "capitalism and socialism have failed and the world is complex and we have not come up with the best system."
I asked "do you know what capitalism is or why it failed" and she said "no and it doesn't matter because there is nothing we can do"
This kind of blatant ignorance drives me crazy, but the really scary part is that she felt like her opinion was valid DESPITE knowing nothing of the subject matter.
