In Why do People Vote against Their Own Interests? Political scientist Dr David Runciman says,

"If people vote against their own interests, it is not because they do not understand what is in their interest or have not yet had it properly explained to them.

They do it because they resent having their interests decided for them by politicians who think they know best.

There is nothing voters hate more than having things explained to them as though they were idiots.

As the saying goes, in politics, when you are explaining, you are losing."

Basically, voters crave emotional stories, not explanations.

The thing is, we all crave emotional stories over explanations. Because fictional dramas mainly address the primitive brains they're easy and relaxing. Learning, especially complicated things with long names, taxes the higher brain. It's work, we get fatigued. This human design limitation will have to be addressed if humanity is to comprehend global climate destabilization.
