“Why are smart people that I know falling for such obvious bullshit?”
1. Spiritual blindness.
2. Laziness.
3. Social pressure - Fear of being ostracized from the tribe.
4. Naïveté regarding the nature & prevalence of criminality, corruption & evil in the world.
5. Many people believe they are smart due to an ability to memorize information given to them by people they consider authorities. “Smart” doesn’t automatically equate to intelligence or good life choices that actually correspond to the facts of reality.
6. Paralyzing fear = lack of courage = need for constant external direction. “Smart” loses to the power of fear.
7. The media is more powerful in regards to narrative creation/control/management, even amongst the so called “smart” people, than many can possibly believe with their logical mind.
