Not all battles are worth fighting. Some are worth walking away from. Some are worth laughing at. And some—well, some are just too ridiculous to engage with unless you’ve recently hit your head.
The Sage has spent many years dispensing wisdom, dodging questions about his beard-care routine, and avoiding loud arguments with people who shout things like, “The Earth is obviously flat—it looks flat!” That’s why today’s advice is simple: Pick your battles.
Arguing with idiots is like trying to play chess with a pigeon. No matter how well you play, the bird is just going to knock over the pieces, poop on the board, and strut around like it’s won.
Save your energy for worthy causes. Like trying to explain Wi-Fi to your gran, or deciphering a teenager’s text message that reads “brb lol idk smh.”
The Sage advises: nod wisely, smile gently, and walk away whenever someone says “I did my own research.”
