23 Dumb People Who Think They’re Very Smart

There’s a painful amount of truth in the sentiment that the folks who make the most noise in a room, are really the ones who are also the most clueless. The blindness of pure ignorance knows no bounds. We’ve all found ourselves miserably entrenched in a conversation with a disagreeable human being who is incapable of embracing any new idea outside of whatever confused perspective they have. It can be rough. The folks that made this list are in a league of their own. Do they assume they’re the smartest beings to walk the earth? Absolutely. Are they?
