indeed, it seems like a people who become skeptics/debunkers/rationalists adopt an arrogant personality. or they try to be the expert on every subject and try to debunk everything (like snopes) which inevitably gets details wrong.

The scientific method is insanely important, yet amongst everyday people it’s almost as if they don’t trust science because its practitioners are arrogant.

we shouldn’t throw the baby out with the bath water. perhaps there could be a larger culture of humble and respectful skepticism. Mick west comes to mind, he has a good book on this as well: escaping the rabbit hole.
