Yes I think intelligence is a spectrum and that neither side is more "correct" than the other.

I think there's good and bad ideas from both sides depending on your perspective, and we have to concede that nobody has all the answers, and that we don't know what we don't know.

    Probably... For me it's more about the things that should be obvious, like burning fossil-fuels will extremely likely lead us in a worse state. But it seems that a big percentage of the western population doesn't want to believe facts and logical reasoning anymore and I think this is a very dangerous thing, as we have seen in 1920-1945.

    Yeah it's somewhat funny (if nature wouldn't play a big part this time) that history repeats again and again (Reagan I think was one of the sparks of this disinformation crisis due to promoting this kind of late-stage-capitalism that optimized manipulation). Although we have this vast access to information, but I guess it doesn't help, if you're not able to tell (due to reasons discussed) between facts and lies anymore.
