There's a massive difference between people who can admit they don't know something and use it as an opportunity to grow, versus people who are proud of their ignorance and refuse to learn.
Joe Rogan is the perfect example of the latter. He really popularized this idea that, as long as you admit you're an idiot, your terrible and factually wrong beliefs are just as good as reality.
-Isaac Asimov
