The Psychology of the Conspiracy Denier: Why do rationally minded people balk at the idea that sociopaths are conspiring to deceive them? Conspiracy deniers aggressively defend the utterly illogical fantasy that somehow, above a certain undefined level, corruption and deceit mysteriously evaporate. (off-guardian.org)

I would not refer to them as sociopaths. I would call them satanists. Being a satanist starts from sociopathic tendencies, but also amplifies those tendencies. Most of the so called skeptics here are advancing the agenda of that religion.

SA'TAN, noun [Heb. an adversary]. Between inception and death...what represents the adversary to reality?

belief

Aka consent (want versus not want) to the suggested information by another. The versus represents the ad-vers-ary aka reasoning about suggested information (fiction); while ignoring perceivable inspiration (reality).

You don’t think reasoning is innate, and comes from within? I would refer to reasoning as the (attempted, and usually failed) logical process to deduce/understand.

I agree that it is largely/heavily influenced by the words of others, many not engaging in reasoning (falsehood, instead), however surely some of them are?!

Can no one reason at all? Is reasoning not involved in piercing the veil of what we observe in perceivable reality. Much of what we perceive/see is not what is, and reasoning/deduction is required to understand what is happening further - right?

Awesome point about ad-vers-ary though...
