I know, its a generalized question but I'm talking about people who just don't learn from their mistakes or stupidity about common subjects...

I told people from the beginning that this question was going to be rather harsh...
I've had quite a bit of harsh treatment thrown towards me for knowing more than I should, that's why I tried to phrase it as kind as possible and patience is something I have even if I barely can put up with ignorance.

It's very hard to change an ignorant person's mind because they are blinded by their ignorance.

Most of the time ignorance is easier.
Nobody likes changes. We call that "inertia." People tend to become comfortable and sometimes prefer not knowing bad news.
I've always enjoyed learning, and have a bit of a hard time understanding why others don't share this enjoyment.
You may be excessively impatient with people who are too young to have learned the lessons that generally come with getting older.
I would advise you to be a bit gentler with your criticisms as most people--even ignorant ones--do mean well. As we mature we tend to realize more that we need to grow in our learning, our wisdom and our judgement, and we can't do that without shaking our ignorance maybe a little at a time.
Be patient. Patience is also part of growth and wisdom.

Ignorance is only bliss to the ignorant -- it's just f***ing annoying to those who really know.

People have not learned the concept of cause and effect

okay, ummmm. Some people are just a bit more... how can I say this nicely? I don't think I can. Well basically, it's not that they don't learn, it's that they DON'T CARE! you know.
