We form our beliefs for a variety of subjective, personal, emotional and psychological reasons in the context of environments created by family, friends and society. After forming our beliefs we then defend, justify and rationalize them with a host of reasons arguments and explanations. Beliefs come first, explanations for the beliefs follow. Once people commit to a belief, the smarter they are, the better they are at rationalizing those beliefs. So smart people believe some weird things because they are skilled at defending beliefs they arrived at for non-smart reasons. We don’t form beliefs by rationally checking all information. Every fact gets filtered through our pre-existing beliefs.
