Reply #4: it is far easier to think in absolutes [View All]

[bleedingheart]

people who are intellectually lazy are literally drawn to absolutes because they don't have to think any further than a statement like...

"gay people are bad"

that's it...no critical thinking...nothing. They accept that and then they rationalize (which does sometimes take some effort)..but you will find that they won't rationalize very long either because they are the first to erupt and then walk away because any further effort might hurt their calcified brains.

Once in a while, an intellectualy lazy person gets motivated and when they do they typically feel betrayed by some mythical "those people" who supposedly were keeping them in the dark but that is their defense against their own laziness.
