Why do some people automatically believe things just because another person said so?

Word of mouth is not proper proof. People can lie. Lying is not uncommon among humans.

As George Carlin once said...

“Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are dumber than that.”

― George Carlin

It really is as simple as that.

Because generally speaking people are fucking retarded

Because we live in a "post truth" society. There really is no truth or lie anymore. If you want to believe something you can find your tribe. Wait we've already got the evolving Metaverse and now AI. Wait till quantum computing really takes off if you think things are f***ed now. There will absolutely no right or wrong, true or false. Only those in power and those who are controlled by the Matrix.
