It’s crazy how often I see a thread on here about people arguing with dozens of comments about something that can just be looked up. Like I just google it and there are actual studies that just. Have the answer. Why are y’all arguing based off vibes

keep in mind that a study, even a peer reviewed one, doesn’t necessarily imply the truth or the nature of reality. many “established” truths of the past have eventually turned out to be false. hell, even gravity itself is merely a theory, not fact or law. nobody has been able to prove its mechanism, yet many treat it as given fact. essentially, question everything, even that which is “proven”.

so what? you’re in a state of constant uncertainty and questioning? how is that fun? how is life enjoyable if you’re stuck questioning everything as you just basically just said to do? I’m not saying be ignorant to certain things but concepts like gravity or the big bang, unless that’s your life’s work or something, why spend your time dwelling about something you know YOU yourself aren’t gonna spend time to “prove” anyway.

OP said it’s crazy that people argue over things that can be looked up. i simply gave a reason as to why someone might do this. if we never challenged miasma theory then germ theory wouldn’t have been a thing and we’d still be regularly dying from things like the flu. some people enjoy the pursuit of knowledge, some people don’t. just because you don’t enjoy it, that doesn’t mean it’s wrong that other people do. people like the theorize. it’s in our nature, at least for some of us.

maybe they just have genuine disagreements and are trying to get to the bottom of it
