    But if they are indeed right, and that fire they have about it is used to defend their point-of-view until it’s been so scrutinised and counter-argued that either it has been shown to be incorrect, or no counter could undo the initial argument, is that not progress?

    Lemmy is not academy. This is a web forum, most of us are not here to do formal science.

      Great point!!! OMG! Daily I get variations of statements from people demanding I defend some random news article I’ve posted. I’m like, “dude, I don’t give a fuck, just don’t read it if you don’t want to!”

      Not everything is some logical political discourse with references. I don’t give a shit. Just ignore and move on if you don’t like it. lmao
