Same here. If you aren't humble then life has a way of delivering humbleness upon you. There's a quote from the Stoic philosopher Seneca that goes something like:
" How can a man learn something that he already claims to know?"
This speaks of a certain arrogance and closed-minded attitude that is so common these days. People adopt a smugness and declare themselves enlightened and superior because they listened to a podcast or read some propaganda headlines on social media. It's like people are proud of their ignorance and indoctrination.
This attitude prevents them from ever questioning themselves and seeking more information and robs them of any chance of growth and wisdom. It's a common behaviour in children but now it's becoming a pattern among adults too. It's sad to see, but a lot of people seem to be waking up which fills me with hope.
