Oh, I totally agree. My comment was intended more to get away from the idea that these people are simply unintelligent, which I don’t think is the case.
100% they have a responsibility to think critically. Conditioning may make that difficult, but a lack of effort would be an entirely different thing.
Agreed here also. I would imagine there’s some kind of correlation with intelligence, but I also bet it’s even more intellectual laziness like you’re suggesting. And maybe coupled with some emotional immaturity. So many people just don’t like questioning themselves, and/or see questioning one’s ideas as questioning their worth as a human being.
