Crazy people refuse to follow some relatively straightforward procedure that allows to achieve their goals or prevent terrible disutility.
This probably means that they failed to recognize that the procedure is straightfoward and would allow them to achieve their goals.
This, in turn, probably means that they failed to apply whichever 2nd-order procedure would demonstrate that the first procedure was so straightforward and surefire.
Why aren’t they stupid for their inability to apply this 2nd-order procedure (or 3rd-order or however many it takes to bottom out)? Is the claim that, at some point, the nth-order procedure for establishing the straightforwardness and surefire-ness of the lower-order procedures is not itself straightforward and surefire?
The fact that you have to follow n-th order procedure of debiasing yourself is nontrivial, so not knowing that it’s important doesn’t identify people as stupid, but still leads to them remaining crazy.

Crazy people will refuse to search for a sufficiently-meta debiasing procedure that would otherwise allow them to see that they should do that.
