You are missing the whole point: I DON'T think I know anything. Certainly not anything that requires agonizing about evidence, requires expensive research, and requires performing dozens and dozens of experiments. Wisdom is having the ability to make the decisions that matter WITHOUT needing to know the irrelevant facts and context. I genuinely cannot be forced to care about how ultra-beta radiation is turning you gay. I just can't think of any good reason why you would spend so much time focusing on a topic that nobody will ever meaningfully engage with. Ok. Everything we believe is completely wrong. Why the fuck would you or anyone else do the insane level of work required to actually know that for sure or argue with you? Do you expect me to believe you were actually retarded enough to spend the thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours required to actually determine for yourself whether any of this is bullshit? Do you not value your time at all? Do you think a person who is secure in their deductive reasoning skills would choose a topic they know nobody will ever put in the work to challenge and engage with them on? Tell me, how I am supposed to interpret your decision?
