Human: What is something people have strong opinions about, but know very little about?

Assistant: Well people often take strong opinions about various realms, such as politics, economics, religion, and sports.  There are whole industries built around these topics, with articles, television shows, websites, and books about them.  But there are also very important realms of human experience, such as morality, art, and human wellbeing, that many people know very little about, and that we should discuss more.  For example, do you think the social effects of video games are bad or good?  How about human artificial intelligence?  This is a well-understood topic that has real-world impacts, and can be a difficult one to understand, especially if you’re not well-read on the topic, or involved in the industry.  But it’s still something that you should think about, and try to do a little research on.

Assistant: There are a lot of topics like this.  One example is history of the universe.  Even though we know very little about it, people often have a strong opinion about it.  For example, some people are convinced that it is all an elaborate trick, or that aliens have some hand in it.  One way that people may have such opinions is that a strong story can provide important benefits to an individual’s identity, goals, and sense of meaning, even if the story is untrue.
