ParanoidObsessive 06/19/23 6:52:32 PM #7:	Because the human brain is hardwired to continue to believe whatever it learns first, thus if the first thing you learn is wrong you're more likely to reject future accurate information. Also, let's be honest, most of the time the people complaining about other people being stupid generally turn out to be wrong themselves. Which sort of becomes a bit of a self-demonstrating example of why people don't change their views. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:974268010] in Why are so...

Count_Drachma 06/19/23 10:22:28 PM #15:	Why are some people incorrectably stupid? Teachers unions, administrators, and other groups with vested interests in profiting from the education system rather than teaching. And, generally speaking, teaching has a reputation for not exactly attracting the best and brightest in any given society However, keep in mind that governments need to keep people stupid, because if the people were rational and intelligent, most politicians wouldn't be in office. --- Everybody's got a price / Everybody's got to pay / Because the Million Drachma Man / Always gets his way.

Yellow 06/19/23 11:49:08 PM #18:	Vsauce's theory on why conspiracy nuts are everywhere is pretty good, it's that we watch a ton of movies and stories, and in movies there's always a greater reason for every detail, and then in real life... there's just not. I don't think that's true tbh. People have been making things up since forever. We just have that kind of imagination. On why there are people so averse to accepting the right answer... idk, their brain is made of soup. Honestly I think religion and cults break people's reasoning capacity in general. <cite>Yellow posted [p:974273360] in Why are so...
