An often exploited and semi socially acceptable means to discredit anyone, is by claiming they are "crazy", "weird",
"unstable" or "irrational". Whether it was done intentionally or by mistake matters little from that point forward, as no matter what
the person says, it will always be questioned or viewed as irrational. The person could try his hardest to relate important

Those who believe they are smarter than they really are often, but unintentionally so, exploit this societal weakness.
As being without the mental ability to comprehend what is being spoken to them, they immediately assume it is irrational
and thus disregard it's relevance. Individuals of a malevolent nature exploit this weakness as well to manipulate
