    Also, people want to see themselves in an underdog. They want a “good guy” to root for.

    IMO, and having read over all your comments in this thread, and not just the one I’m quoting above, you are too dismissal/simplifying of other people’s intelligence and wisdom.

    Humanity done right is a differential engine, and ignoring a section of the data set because you don’t agree with it does not get you any closer to the truth of things.

      I’m not ignoring anyone. I’m trying to think of a reasonable explanation for people’s incoherence. I think people wanting to root for the underdog really explains a lot of seemingly incoherent beliefs.
