How do you deal with the annoyance about good people that are more committed to being good than to being truthful?

It is also annoying to deal with someone who behaves as if they are correct all the time and doesn't fully listen to other people's views or understand their perspective due to the belief that their own beliefs are superior because they want to serve truth.

I know, right? My friends get filtered by being able to deal with the perceived self righteousness of someone who is annoyed by his perception of untruth, but that might be too limiting. I need to learn to listen to things that are probably false without an impulse to object...

When you say truth, I assume you mean the laws of physics. If you filter your friends and get annoyed by deviations from the filter, that is also an in-group, and like all in-groups, you prefer your own cherished value: truth.

I don’t want to be in a group, Rita. I just want to keep friendships with some normies.

Disillusioning your friends doesn't help or hinder your own pursuit of truth. If we're talking about anti-vaxxers then yes I can see how that would be annoying, but not everyone is interested in the kind of rigor you value.

I don’t even know the degree to which vaccines cause autism or SIDS. Can this be ruled out? This seems to be an area of complicated statistics that most anti vaxxers and anti anti vaxxers don’t actually pay much attention to, if it becomes a question of group identity.
