The sayings of ancient philosophers and sages have lived for thousands of years, and no one doubts their accuracy.
About two thousand years ago, the philosopher Socrates managed to unravel the secret of stupidity without the help of AI or outside clues.
In today's times, there is clearly no reason to doubt the accuracy of his judgments.
So, if there are people around you whose speech never stops for a second, then remember the words of the ancient man: “He who talks a lot does not always have something to say.”
The Secret of Stupidity According to Socrates
Everything is extremely simple. Socrates reached the depths of human thought and extracted from it the subtlest root of wisdom.
What is said should be assessed not by the number of words, but solely by the meaning.
That is, a person’s talkativeness indicates the superficiality of his knowledge.
And the more words your interlocutor says when discussing a particular topic, the further he takes you away from his answer to the question.
According to modern scientists, this trait appears in people who are not good at self-analysis.
It is also believed that "chatterboxes" value only their own opinions, and use an endless stream of words as a defense or a way to hide their insecurities.
