It would take a lot. They're basically anime characters that "believe in themselves" and "never give up", high psychoticism. The pursuit of genetic interests is wholly unquestioned and leaves them with a rigid and stable outer framework, still allowing for extreme adaptation and coping on the interior. Thinking is, of course, outsourced to the nth degree and things that go against the genetic instinct are easily dismissed without further investigation. There will almost always be a facade of rationality/calm/observing/understanding until the topic of conversation challenges "established" values, free will or a number of adaptive delusions.
To these people life is a game of genetic success; there are winners and losers, and they can tell who is who. The ad hominem, the argument from popularity, or the appeal to false authority, is never far away in their minds--but is often very far away from their lips. Instead of a bad reply you will get silence and unfounded judgement, made to attack in groups they will rarely engage 1 on 1. When outmatched they will not concede, but rather leave, relying on their faulty reasoning to do away with threats to their vital mental frameworks. The empty, cold stare of dismissive genetic calculation is something most terrifying.
Wow, I'm really cringey today. Woke up at 3pm.
