: but you cannot cure ignorance with violence.
..but sometimes it makes the person think (usually out of fear). You can give ignorant people fact after fact, story after story, etc., etc., etc., and they'll just laugh at you.
Sometimes you need to 'shock' their system.
: Any suggestions on a proactive way to cure ignorance?
I guess just being smarter than the other person....and calm. I know I may be contradicting myself, but if you shoot down what the other person is saying time & time again, they'll just get frusturated & go away.
