And the solution to that is: you should develop your own critical thinking and be aware of your own biases and take the time not to make rash decisions. The solution is not: you should let other people make the decision for you. That's obviously an incredibly stupid solution.

Like, if Superman had allowed Darkseid to make the decisions for him, the Justice League would have been defeated and Darkseid/Brainiac would have gone on to destroy countless other inhabited worlds, so that's still obviously a worse outcome than your hypothetical.
