Community and confidence bias will reinforce the fantasies preached by their leaders. Complacency bias will prompt them to unplug the smoke alarms rather than put out the fire. Conspiracy bias will divert their attention from real dangers to imaginary ones, and it will keep them fighting one another rather than uniting against their common danger and for the common good. Catastrophe/Normalcy bias will keep them oblivious to the slowly deteriorating conditions until it’s too late.
