People are dumb bud.. there is, just a lot of plain dumb people out there.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.
Some days I think "People can't possibly be that dumb, right?" and them I'm let down every time, 'cause they are.
Seems to apply to everything involving people.
It's important to note that the default state of people is being dumb. It takes effort, exposure and more qualities/circumstances during a person's early years to not be dumb.
Many people just didn't grow up in an environment that allows that, it's actually a quite specific one that doesn't happen automatically.
And once the early life phase is over, mental plasticity is a lot lower, so very very few people go from "dumb" to "not dumb".
If you want to be less dumb, I can really recommend https://lesswrong.com/rationality
