Why do you smart friends fall for it all the time? Why do they refuse to see any evidence that the narrative is wrong? I believe the main reason is the personality trait openness. This trait can stop people from having any dialectic thought with themselves and literally believing everything that they are being told from an official source, or unfortunately in the case of someone who has very high openness and lower than average intelligence, will make you believe without question every bunk conspiracy theory on the web.
Someone who has very low openness would never go home and google vaccine safety, nor all causes death rate (a topic for another time) to see if what “them TV screens” say is at all plausible. They just believe it. No matter how intelligent they are. These people can be very dangerous to an organisation, and generally will rise to the topic. They will not question their boss and go with the flow and end up “brown nosing” their way to the top. This is why most “free thinkers” need to start their own business. They will just not fit in.
Someone who is highly open but lacks the horse power in the head will likely read anything, like people who took the vaccine are now magnetic and run with it. They will go think about if this is possible, how the hell could it work if at all. This is the target of the low openness people to show how stupid these crazy conspiracy theories are.
You need to tell these people, if you see something like this, DO NOT post about it or send it to any of your non open friends for at least 24hrs. In that 24hrs do as much checking as you can to see if that thought or thing or idea is even at all feasible.
On the same token your smart non open “friends”, try to get them to see all information from an autoritative source with scepticism. Some might find the truth. For the low intelligent non open people. Forget it, they´re a complete waste of fucking time and you should never employ, or even talk to them in a social setting. You will both leave the conversation confused.
