I don't think most people are looking for the truth anymore. They are more interested in finding out what team you're on and who else says what you believe and what team they're on. A logical argument with references means absolutely nothing to most people these days. Questioning certain "truths" will quickly get you banned on many social media platforms and the list of "truths" gets longer every day.

I was in a zoom call with a large number of people I consider educated. They were talking about the California propositions and they didn't want to talk about what they said or to argue for or against, they just wanted to know who supports and opposes which one and if they were on the right team.
