Most people believe insane things of some form and all of us are usually inconsistent in some way. It might have tighter correlations with economic and education status, but that’s not all of it. Whatever skill allows some to see the signal through the noise while others descend down rabbit holes that lead to delusion is hard to teach. The best community I’ve found that works towards it is the less wrong rationality community, but none of us are immune from cognitive bias or motivated reasoning. It’s all about recognizing it and trying to correct for it in order to struggle closer to the truth. Even so, I worry most people continually exposed to false ideas will eventually get infected by them - even if you have really good tools, it’s hard.
