    Compartmentalise. It’s a trait of Homo sapien to convice themselves things are true, so they can believe any bullshit, try not to fall for it yourself in otjer areas.

    The problem for me arises when they speak from authority on another subject they are expert in, if they’re so naive and easily misled on that, how can i trust their opinion on anything substantive?

    A superb example of this is Katherine Hayhoe. I get around it by just reading nothing she writes on climate change because her evangelical christianisim just muddies the waters too much to take her at all seriously. On a side note, my goto is Professor Kevin Andersin.
