The human being is a clean slate! It is not born with innate information. Each generation starts over again. For me it makes sense because we all start over. Humans must be shown otherwise it doesn't exist. We live in a limited imaginative realm.
I think this relates to the burden of freedom. It's easier to 'cast your cares' on a politician, however incompetent, than it is to 'take up your cross' by accepting personal responsibility for your own outcomes, or those of the community. At least, I think that's part of it. We must also recognise the kind of cold manipulation that characterised the covid fiasco. For some people that stuff is just their stock-in-trade.
