Alexander Pope famously said: "To Err is human." He is probably also saying from his grave that "to err on social media with confidence is really, really embarrassing." Or maybe we are looking at it all wrong. Maybe this kind of blind confidence should be admired. Even studied. Because the comment sections of the internet are full of them, and it is an epidemic that doesn't seem to be ending soon.
What Pope did actually end up saying was that to "forgive is divine." We aren't sure what it makes us if we point, repost, and laugh. But it is surely very far from divine. But Bored Panda did the dirty work for you and compiled the most confident among the confident. The knights of not-knowing. The folks who saw an opportunity to argue and completely disregarded the consequences of their undeniable wrongness.
