意味
Some people refuse to acknowledge obvious truths.
文化的背景
In Spain, proverbs (refranes) are a sign of 'cultura popular'. Using them correctly makes a non-native speaker sound much more integrated and natural. Mexicans often use 'refranes' to give advice in a humorous or slightly sarcastic way. It's part of the 'albur' and wordplay culture. In Argentina, the phrase is frequently used in the context of 'la grieta' (the political divide) to describe supporters of the opposing side. Colombians might use this phrase to gently warn someone about a 'mal negocio' (bad business) or a 'falso amigo'.
Use it to end an argument
When you realize someone won't change their mind despite the facts, say this phrase and stop arguing. It's a polite way to say 'I'm done trying to convince you.'
Don't be too aggressive
While common, this phrase can sound a bit condescending if said with a harsh tone. Use it with a sigh or a look of pity to sound more natural.

The 'Sordo' alternative
If someone is ignoring your *advice* (something you said), use 'No hay peor sordo que el que no quiere oír'. It fits better for spoken information.

よくある質問
5 問It can be perceived as slightly patronizing because you are implying the other person is being stubborn or foolish. However, it is a very standard way to express frustration in Spanish.
Yes! You can say 'Supongo que no hay peor ciego que el que no quiere ver, y yo no quería ver la verdad.' (I guess there's no worse blind person than the one who doesn't want to see, and I didn't want to see the truth.)
Yes, 'el que' acts as 'the one who'. Without it, the sentence would be grammatically incomplete.
Yes, though they might use it more in texts or social media comments than in casual slang-filled speech. It's a 'timeless' phrase.
You use 'ciego' for a man or as a general proverb. Use 'ciega' only if you are specifically and pointedly talking about a woman.
