I've been thinking more about that over the last hour or so, and I've come to the conclusion that different people have different priorities, and I don't think there's much we can do about that.
Whether it's nature, nurture, or experience, I strongly distrust people who claim to have THE answer to any complex problem, or who feel that it's better to bulldoze other people than to be wrong.
I'll listen to truth seekers, but ignore truth havers.
However, clearly that's not a universal opinion. Many people are happier believing in an authoritarian who has all the answers. And I don't think that will ever change.
