once in a lifetime said: Nope, I understand you. The right way is a union of logic and intuition; I believe. Then many spheres are available.
The concept of 'perceived gullibility' is a nice one, I did find it interesting that you and I essentially had the same view on this. . it serves one well, I have found. Believe and trust - yet know that all is deeper than it appears, would be yet a third way of expressing it. There is basically an unlimited level of consciousness within everyone and everything; and of course the source is, classically, beneath many layers of illusion - yet also those layers of illusion are as nothing, so the source is right here right now, and simulpresent in all locations, etc.
Because of this, there is truth within everything, even if covered up.
Also, we create our reality, our world, our universe, understanding this brings a lot of peace about many things; we are co-creating along with all other forms;
The point of agreeing with others, even if you have seen a deeper truth, is connected to several ideas - one of which is that all is partly true and partly false, in the words of Pascal, another being that a fool who persists in his folly will eventually become wise.
A third is that unconcern can be effective in life; as others were mentioning about how to overcome anxiety - we create the world, as much as the world creates us, and send out our energy into the universe, and that comes back to us, it's an ever continuing flow and ebb, between inner and outer, self and the universe.
Lastly, since we affect others, and the world, we're each responsible, and so finding the truest way of expressing beauty and love, or what we'd like to share. . . what I mean, communicating, like in the Taoist sense of it, or as Ram Dass said, allowing others to be as they are, who they wish to be, allowing them that free space, is the best thing one can do - and also the most effective at sharing deep peace if we've found it and want to share it, or truths about good health, etc.
One thing that's interesting - ambition and so forth - if it's turned towards spiritual pursuits, brings a lot of rewards. It's just a different goal; peace, truth, understanding, etc. And it's very good. . .
Lastly, of course, there is the truth seen in visions that there is nothing to do. . . This is the interesting thing. . Humanity has conquered and attained everything - except the art of attaining peace; and so that's the primary goal. . . and to reach supreme peace, a spiritual goal, is the real journey, seeking the real, etc., that is the most wonderful journey, attaining that. And it's unlimited in scope, essentially, endless.
Yet to get there, one has to do, nothing - all that's needed to attain supreme peace is to cut off the roots of war. . and that's attainable within an instant, the whole world over, which is why prophets and seers have always seen that paradise and beauty are right here and now.
One thing I come back to time and again, is that the most important thing in the world today is simply to return lushness, balance and harmony to the world, and the thing is, it can be reached overnight. . We can reduce our consumption by 50% overnight, and it isn't even difficult; I've done so by about 95%, a small step, and it was quite easy. . . Joy doesn't come from material things. . a simple yet deep truth.
Anyway, that shift is definitely happening. . balance is being restored. . lushness and beauty are returning swiftly. . . let's keep it up. 
honestly once psychedelics are legalized a lot of people will be opened to spiritual possibilities, and I think that would spark a larger movement twords peace. However peace can never be fully achieved unless we alter the way societies are set up. Survival over wealth (happiness and well being as part of survival)
But you made everything I was kinda misty about click with that post - great job explaining all that and I agree 100%
-------------------- Just because I am arrogant does not mean I forget my place. It is how I choose to talk. I am not a monk. I am my own path, and I am without influence. Talk to me about my core being before you question my mental stability or life-choices. Chances are, they're only shocking to you because they don't fit your idea of what is.
