if the wise just held their ground against them and proved them wrong with facts but instead their afraid of them or of offending them so they slunk about quietly saying nothing letting them spread their insanity to others.
It's funny, innit? I mean you don't want to waste your time "debating" someone who has clearly shown no inclination or capacity to learn, or be intellectually honest, or meet you half-way. There's also the severe anti-intellectual sentiment, showing people that they are wrong, and why, is an asshole move in pop culture. In fact think of this, confronting someone who is in a cult that is based on superstitious nonsense would be seen as a righteous intervention, but change religion with cult (which in some cases boils down to just number of adherents), and then it's suddenly offensive and morally wrong.
But on the other hand, if reasonable people would just get their shit together and were a louder voice in society we would not be in most of the messes we are in right now.
