[stupidity of people]
The whole reaction to Covid nailed down these points for good; we are utterly lost as a species if group intelligence is the standard of measurement.
I also tend to think of Winston Churchill's famous quote in this respect:
Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.
People rather stick to convenient, simple lies than handle the complex, inconvenient truth

Finally somebody sane here. People talk about msm Bitcoin fake news but believe the covid thing. İt's always about money. Keep the system running, make the rich richer. No matter how.
