I would say the problem is in holding the ideas as absolutes. Normies tend to form a rigid worldview and then attack things outside their belief structure. The normie mind can’t form nuanced thoughts such as “normally risk should be avoided, but this is a moment where it makes sense” or “normally I think via convention, but the outcome of my wealth, health and happiness will be greater if I go back to the drawing board and reexamine these things from first principles”

It all just goes in the bucket of scary thing that exists outside the normal pattern. So I’ll avoid it.
