Which one are you?
its called a paradigm.
this is not new and each time we are "inside" a paradigm, they will do anything to protect it.
usually its about power structures that need the paradigm to work.
scientist and people with knowledge are the same, they are also protecting the paradigm.
the paradigm shift was not something easy, usually it involved with years of killing and oppression and tyranny.
only when the people that also had power saw "opportunities" the shift was made.

the #2 will fight until the end. no matter how much you try to convince them.
there need to be a paradigm shift that wakes them up. they are unable to make this change on their own,
they need a "leader" to do that first. it has always been like that. and Im sure it will always be like that.

you could say, but how? how can people be like that? why do they need something like that to change?
well, I think we need to look into the human behavior, our history, the herd mentality, the tribal mentality etc.
I think theres a % of the population that has that dna profile that define them as followers.
could be evolution, because if we have too many critical thinkers that always challenged the leaders we would not be able to create a stable group
and Im sure that homo sapiens would not been the one prospered. so I think, the reason why homo sapiens was the victorious was his strength to
be in a big group, working together and fight off all other humanoids in our 300.000+ past. nothing stand a chance.

eventually we would fight each other. but thats another story.
