Yeah, you're probably right, but it's like deep down I think they're just gullible. I think if I really pushed hard on correcting this thinking (I honestly don't have it in me right now), we'd probably get somewhere back to normal.

Once people accept a kernel of bullshit into their knowledge map, they’ve lost the ability to separate fact from fiction from uncomfortable truths, and then they start adding more and more bs to their knowledge base at an accelerating pace. It's quite a lot like cancer, really, and there are doctors that can help with this, but of course these people don't typically trust doctors. So don’t feel bad if you don’t have it in you, chances are it would make no difference except potentially destroying your relationship with them.
