I get weary of those discussions, fast.
***Interesting, especially since I agree with you on that conclusion about science. How is it you get weary if you have come to such a conclusion? Did you deliberate over the evidence at all or is it just one of those gut instinct conclusions that makes you feel like you don’t ever want to look at either side of the evidence?
I’ve been backwards and forwards over such things for more than 45 years more times than I care to recall.
My rigor in exammining details; sources; logic; puzzle pieces of evidence is, to my mind, well above average. I have no apologies on such scores. Cheeky skepticism doesn’t impress me a great deal.
I usually detect more sides to issues than most folks are aware of, much less can argue.
I have no great need to “prove” such things. I’ve reached an age where much of what I “know” I know because I know . . . having been backwards and forwards and every other which way through piles of evidence repeatedly.
At this point, I tend to pontificate out of the distilled gestalt of all my vast info vacuum habits. If folks disagree or don’t believe; don’t have anything close to a similar perspective, that, at some point, has to be their problem.
Time will tell soon enough in some respects.
Those who willfully and stupidly rejected the handwriting on the wall will pay whatever their individual costs are for such willful blindness. One can only raise a red flag effectively to a very limited degree.
Comfort zones are hard addictions to alter.
