I have another article on this topic coming out this month I believe far why we all take shortcuts
When it comes to information we rely on experts and information society tells us
I can tell you the Earth is not flat but I would not be capable to debate a flat earther
Because the knowledge on that subject is something I take from experts to debate a flat Earth I would need to do my research
But to be honest I don't have the time or the inclinations to do the research
We all live our lives in many ways through shortcuts and trust in experts
I do agree with you it's sad but sadly sometimes the happiest person is the person who lives in ingrinence
