Most modern, right-thinking, science-believers don’t actually do science and wouldn’t recognize the scientific method if it bit them on the butt.

Most religious people never meditated, never had a vision, wouldn’t recognize elevated consciousness if it bit them on the butt.

Most of us just swallow the official narrative of our tribe and trust what the authorities say.

Which is of course a terrible way to acquire quality knowledge.

        So you just had a shower-thought about the existence of stupid people and thought we didn’t know?
