I really wish I could read minds man. Its likely for the best I can't.
I feel like there's a large subset of people that will just believe anything if it's said confidently.
on reddit someone said the stupid people(magats, conservatives), often are "stupidly confidant" because they are unaware that thier views and motives are wrong, so they assume they are in the right most of the time. even a Law school/MD can lack smarts in many areas, despite being book smart.
"The masses have never thirsted after truth. They turn aside from evidence that is not to their taste, preferring to deify error, if error seduce them. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim. An individual in a crowd is a grain of sand amid other grains of sand, which the wind stirs up at will."
Human nature unironically, not jokingly makes me want to kill myself.
