    The key is, that for a lot of people reasoning and thinking is a hard work, because never learned it. I remember an interview with a MAGA voter about climate change and his response: “It’s a big lie, human beings can’t be the cause, because they are not capable of changing God’s creation”.

      Tbh, reasoning and thinking is hard work, even if you learned how to.

      And it’s getting increasingly harder to find reliable information, so you have to check the sources of your sources. And at some point down the rabbit hole stuff gets real complex, and maybe, you still haven’t figured out what’s true…

      So the layman has to trust someone, and in our age of disinformation, someone isn’t necessarily trustworthy. So between the day to day struggles and constant indoctrination, I get why people just hear what they want to hear. Still doesn’t excuse it though.

        You can’t reasoning with people like these, even if they understand that the clima is changing, they say, it is Gods Will and we can do bothing to stop it. Business as usual, period. Yes, we are cooked because of these Australopithecus, irrelevant what say scientists and even with Nobel price, important what say the influencer in TikTok and YT.
