Many very misguided activists are quite smart, at least by standard measures (eg. IQ)!

Ignorance, yes, but there's also the willful suspension of disbelief, ingrained social/economic mis-incentives, a complete lack of curiosity, and a laziness of the brain that would rather appeal to authority than seek out the truth.

Also reminds me of systems thinking. “All of our problems arise out of doing the wrong things righter. The more efficient you're at the doing the wrong thing, the wronger u become. It's much better to do the right thing wronger than the wrong thing righter!” Dr. Russell Ackoff
