People often don't believe the truth because of cognitive biases like "confirmation bias," where individuals tend to readily accept information that aligns with their existing beliefs while dismissing anything that contradicts them, often due to emotional responses that prioritize self-preservation and maintaining their worldview; this can lead to people actively seeking out information that supports their perspective and rejecting facts that challenge it, even when presented with evidence to the contrary.
