At first they made me laugh. They sound ridiculous, almost playful. But the more I paid attention, the more I realised they’re not really jokes. They describe a mindset that is becoming way too common.

To me, an obingo is not just someone who’s wrong. It’s someone who has completely shut their mind. No curiosity. No willingness to question what they believe. They hold on tightly to whatever they were taught and defend it like their life depends on it — even when it makes no sense.

Then there are the batidiots. These are the people who speak with full confidence but no understanding. They don’t just misunderstand things, they proudly spread the misunderstanding. Facts don’t move them. Correction feels like an attack.

What bothers me is how normal this has become.

Everyone wants to be heard, but hardly anyone wants to learn.

Everyone has opinions, but very few people actually think.

I’ve even caught myself in it. Sometimes I’m quick to judge or argue, until I stop and ask myself, Am I reacting or am I actually thinking?

Because the truth is, none of us is immune.

So now, when I hear those words, I don’t just laugh anymore. I take them as reminders — to stay curious, to check myself, and to be humble enough to admit when I don’t know something.

In a world that celebrates noise, choosing to think deeply feels like quiet rebellion.
