As a minimum, you can look into why people believe things you consider false. Then you can investigate those.

Or you could just ignore them, then they will ignore you and probably our society will be worse off.

Sure. I understand completely why people believe in theories like this. The paper linked from the article has a good explanation.

I don't know a useful way to talk about though. Evidence doesn't seem the best approach because there is always some theory why their evidence is better.
