"与放弃理性的人争论就像给死人用药。"
— Thomas Paine
Simplified Meaning:
Trying to convince someone who refuses to think logically is pointless, much like giving medicine to someone who has already died. When you're in a discussion, and the other person ignores facts or reason, your efforts won't change their mind. Think about it like this: If you have a friend who always believes the wildest conspiracy theories, no matter what evidence you show them, they still think the same way. It’s frustrating because, just as you can’t bring a dead person back to life with medicine, you can’t change their mind with reason. The best thing to do in this situation is to recognize when the conversation isn't going anywhere and save your energy for something more productive. Instead of arguing, you might focus on positive discussions with people open to understanding and learning.
