How often would you say you dismiss ideas entirely based on who you hear them from vs. the content of the idea itself?

Just curious. I don't doubt we all do it to some degree, but I wonder where people draw the line, if at all.

This applies in the opposite direction also….there are certain political commentators I trust enough to take their political views and their solutions for problems that face our society a lot more serious than others because of how much I trust that person…..Devon Stack for instance, he and I generally share the same positions on most everything, so when it comes to something I haven’t thought deeply about yet that he is articulating his position on, so long as there’s nothing that glaringly contradicts how I feel about the issue at a surface level, I don’t have a problem assuming he’s probably on point enough to adopt his position as my own to some degree without really studying the issue or his opinion more for myself. Honestly, he may be the only content creator I truly trust just because he’s had the skills for years to become one of the biggest WN content creators out there, especially if he just decided to take a more moderate conservative type of position on current events and the state of the nation, but he chooses integrity over money and regularly shits on wishful thinking which I’m sure pushes a lot of viewers away from his channel, but there’s no substitute for honesty and integrity, even if the truth hurts. We have to be honest about how bad things truly are if we ever care to successfully mitigate the problems we face. You can hide from reality, but you can’t hide from the consequences of hiding from reality, so let’s just face reality head on.
