Many people do not have any practiced ego strength and their inner child or parent runs the show. I've read and heard you make the same statement about being weary for good reason of people who feel so strongly that they somehow know the "truth." If this really does bother you that much I'd suggest trying to see how they decide and choose their "truth" beliefs from an angle of compassion. You can't fix or change them, especially for your own good intent, but you can develop that ability to let their dumb shit go and lovingly take action toward not allowing your own need for understanding to be dictated by their apparent failure. So many stuck without healthy egos have been indoctrinated and have learned to accept an "easy out" that relinquishes their own responsibility for sorting through what they fear or refuse to even try understanding. Knowing one doesn't know is part of advanced ego development, not the fodder of sheeple.
