You honestly seem to think that "We are doing $A, so it is okay to do
keep on doing $A instead of working towards doing $B which is way
smarter to do." is an argument. This gives me an explanation why you
didn't listen to your doubts in the mentioned story. Maybe you got
convinced to keep on going by similar "arguments"?

Can you see the fundamental difference for the development of our
society in defending stupidity; and working to reduce the effect of
stupidity but *at least* pointing out or mentioning smartness?
Change doesn't come by one person. It comes by enough people speaking
about it. You have to start somewhere. And if you don't feel like not
to do the least bit, to improve our society. Well than maybe you also
shouldn't make an effort against it. Especially not with senseless
rhetoric which has been used to discriminate against people and worse
and justifying for others not to do something about it.

It is completely valid to argue!!!: $A is easy, simple, takes no
effort and it works. These can be good arguments to not to change
something in place. And explaining to change to $B takes to much
resources and thats why we are not doing is, is also valid. Than you
can have a discussion. But the other rhetoric is just wrong.
