A meta level view of this, from Arthur Brooks’ podcast this week(about faith) is that people generally resist changing their convictions because doing so makes them feel like they are wrong or a bad person. If you have spent your whole life believing ‘Science is Real’, then it is very difficult to publicly or privately acknowledge that just maybe you placed your trust and belief in the wrong people or things. It is even more difficult when your entire social existence is predicated on sharing the same views and beliefs as your friends without tolerance for deviation.
Yeah, well, I’m just here for the research, man. - The Dude

@ResearchCat you know as of science it is true for religion. Many neglect the politics, special interest and the monetary value to the equation to an ever changing new evidenced, changing context, perspectives. It just gets complicated and many just surrender and pick a side. lol The best advice I was ever told as a manager was "Estropian, you just have to figure out how to get along." I failed (fired) because I was about to kick the living "beep" of a employee who threatened me. lol

@eurouser the way I see it we all share a degree of dumb. Some are more or less. I use to get irritated by dumber people than me. Now I just consider myself a catalyst. I may not have all the answers but I just pay it forward. If I ever get checked, I learn. You can't save them all. That's the reason I took it to this extreme, not only reversing my personal crisis but to also live by example. Practice what you preach. Many close to me see my health emprove significantly and are asking question. Most who do listen still can't get passed the estigma of the needle. Even i am going through what one here called "needle fatigue".
