You're projecting your competence onto others. I would strongly advise against that. What they believe is what they perceive. Most people are full of shit and operate from the ego.

“A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals, and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow."

"But there were some who saw it coming. While the whole world was having a big ol' party, a few outsiders and weirdos saw what no one else could. Not me. I'm not a weirdo. I'm pretty fuckin' cool, but we'll meet again later. These outsiders saw the giant lie at the heart of the economy and they saw it by doing something the suckers never thought to do:

they looked."
