I don't understand why people just want to stay stupid for some reason. Whenever I am wrong, I am willing to accept that, even though sometimes it goes against my worldview. I also don't talk about topics I have no knowledge about (e.g. economics).
Yeah exactly I go to a doctor and she says oh okay then I receive 0 treatment and 0 insight and she hopes she never has to inspect me again because I had a prolonged erection and my testicles were hurting unprofessional selfish bitch
It's partly because they don't really have a concept that they could be wrong. They're so dumb that they don't realize how dumb they are.
A large part of being intelligent is being able to recognize that you don't know everything.

Sometimes this leads to stuff like cognitive dissonance, sometimes it's just a stubborn defense reaction.
Because they think being perceived as "right" is a birthright not a proven mathematical conclusion
