In the end, it all comes down to whether you can change your opinions to match the facts, versus denying the facts in order to preserve opinion. The latter is not necessarily mere intellectual laziness. Science suggests that some people may be literally incapable of changing their minds. That level of mental flexibility and strength may not be available to all people. That goes double for the underlying faith in ones ability to arrive at correct answers via a chain of reasoning. The shocking truth is that it just might be that its only the intellectuals of the world who can do this. If so, then its up to us to figure out how to make it easier for the rest.
