> Or has their parents/local community's faith simply spent a lot longer on convincing them it's true. As I get older, I dont think its about people really thinking it's true, but more about the consequences of opposing the "truth" that your community, your friends, family, have merged into their identities. If you look it it through network effects, virtue signaling, social status, adopting the communal view of the world will have more benefit to their every day lives than taking a rational view of the world. If the people around me were convinced the sky was orange, and they determine my status, my access to community, my job, my safety net, I would think maintaining their trust in me as more important than proving to them and myself the sky was actually blue. Our human needs are much more immediate than science and facts. Even science faces these communal effects, needing new generations that arent tied into that network to push forward true revolutionary ideas.
