Your comment could be in the style of smart vs dumb. We have seen many "smart" people, for example MD, scientist, air line pilot, politician, etc., rejecting facts and arguments on, say, dangers of mRNA, during the "pandemic." They are not dumb. Something else going on.

One way to characterize this is fundamentalism. The closing off of consideration of challenges to ones' position. Protecting and managing boundaries of the self or the group. Strong but flexible boundaries.
Fundamentalism can often be seen in religious adherence but it is also seen in ideological positions that are strongly held as a persons or a group's identity. This is not an attack on religion which is a essential mode of existence to forming collectives, but making the point that Balance is essential.
