So you are saying when a bull shits it takes more energy to refute that a bull shitted than it takes for the bull to shit.

That is a good summation. I need to remember that. That is why I usually stay silent, not one to argue. It's been said wise people don't argue. The wise part I am fully still working on.

I agree that wise people see no sense in arguing, what's the point? Does anyone think they have the ability to change someone's mind? My experience iif you want to argue, do it in front of a mirror, you will get the same results.

@M!$TER-ED - Hence my posting a short video explaining Schopenhauer's philosopy. The one certain finite thing we have is time. It's not a case of assigning blame but simply desciding that one's time could be better spent doing something else and simply walking away is best for everyone.
I do think he may be right when he notes that people can emotionally invest so much in a case that they don't argue because they truly believe they are right, but because that investment means anyone questioning the case becomes an existential threat to them.
If we are ever put in a position where we either fight or die, we are all hardwired to fight. But what 'feels' like an existential threat is unique to each one of us.
Of course, they are also equally free to walk away. In fact, it's still probably their best stratergy as their emotional investment is no longer threatened.

My philosophy is not adhering any set of beliefs, philosophies or architectures that may influence or restrict the fluidity of thought process. I choose to weigh any and all responses based on the knowledge I have. With that said I trust my instincts meaning I don't have prove myself to anyone, nor is it important to me to win an argument. Walking away is not an issue.
