Why are some people so unopen to facts and reason?

A host of psychological defense mechanisms and heuristic reasoning principles, but fundamentally an attitude of indifference toward genuine understanding.

Truth is often unpopular with those seeking escape, who like obscurity and want to be managed by others.

Some?? I'd say the majority of people are like that I guess u just have to have an opening experience to see beyond the lies we are fed

blinded by their views and ideals

will my facts be wrong and your facts undeniable if i try?..

Because facts are pesky things that never go away!
