I don't understand why people just want to stay stupid for some reason. Whenever I am wrong, I am willing to accept that, even though sometimes it goes against my worldview. I also don't talk about topics I have no knowledge about (e.g. economics).
Because they think being perceived as "right" is a birthright not a proven mathematical conclusion
i think a lot of it just comes down to the fact that many of these people see no oversight and perceive no obvious disadvantage to entertaining only their own opinions.
To the point of OPs meme, this is extremely true for a government, where "yes men" and people who fail upwards rise the quickest and wield the most power. Add in policies that make firing, even the worst employees, extremely difficult and remove the confines of a real budget... well why would you ever care about what other people think?
