Maybe saying "most people are stupid" is wrong. I know even medieval peasants had to be knowledgeable about a lot to farm and survive.

However, I do believe most people are uncurious. Since information is so cheap, it seems many people just reach for what feels good and doesn't risk their existing worldviews.

Right but that is actually a strategy that makes a lot of sense. You will likely fit in well with your peers and you will likely feel comfortable with your beliefs and "knowledge".

Maybe we could call it a local maximum, personally, although something of a disaster, societally.
