You do realize that you just listed a bunch of really dumb caricatures as the argument for why you dont have to think about stuff? Reality finding doesnt work by just pointing at laughing at the few people dumber then you. Thats a description of propaganda, if you spend more and more time concerned with dumber and dumber caricatures, there is a really good chance somebody is feeding you with framed stuff to react to to come to predetermined conclusions.
Not being the actual dumbest person in the room doesnt mean you are somehow done figuring stuff out. Treating this as a matter of binary sides overlooks the issue that there is no "reasonable default" to fall back on. Finding that position is the actual practical problem. Thats an iterative process of verification and reality truly doesnt care that you made out somebody dumber then yourself.
I said it in the other post, i find this to be an extremely difficult conversation. After all, how do you tell people in a constructive way to really consider their emotional maturity when it comes to this not at all being trivial problem.
