Always black. Always white. Never left. Always right . Perception is subjective not objective. How can folks believe PROVEN LIES are true?

Or that truth supported by FACTUAL PROOF is fake? It takes a suspension of something to embrace that. What exactly that is I have no idea. Can a person who is susceptible to believing lies be intelligent? Can geniuses be fooled into believing lies just as easily as subnormal folks (intellectually) do? What is the hook that causes anyone to believe anything? If it is all based on political skew or religious skew than how do YOU KNOW what is true if you never question it or investigate it or challenge it? Just accepting isn't enough. But that's how lots of folks do do it. No intellectual curiosity to find truth. What their leaders tell them to believe they believe and anything else is a lie according to them. How can they know that without significant research? Do they have lazy brains or trusting souls? WHY?

    People believe what they want to believe.  And acceptance is enough. People have their own lives to lead and they have no desire to spend them constantly questioning everything.  Not are they interested in everything.  "Proof" is only argumentative - the questioning of someone or something to try and change their mind.  Belief comes first and proof exists only to bolster belief.  You say that proof means a certain thing but someone else gets another meaning from the same proof.  So whose proof?
