Jim Wright discusses how worldviews can blind people, leading them down conspiratorial rabbit holes, or to reject information they don't want to hear. And that there will always be some folk eager to help such blindings to take place and continue, either because it's "fun" or because they gain some advantage in being the one-eyed man in the the land of the blind.
