Ok have you personally taken responsibility for the fact that your media consumption has made your worldview delusional? Nope? Ok then I am not making an assumption, I am stating human nature
Ok have you personally taken responsibility for the fact that your media consumption has made your worldview delusional?
This is a loaded question on the same level as “did you stop beating your wife? Yes or no?”.
But let’s bite: yes.
I come from a scientific background. And you don’t get to keep delusions about something when reality is making you interact with that thing over and over, regardless of the origin of said delusions, as soon as you step into the uni. And one of the things I often talk with people is how science is misrepresented in media, specially after that clown of the former president of my country started babbling about Ivermectin*.
And, due to the nature of the content of this community, I expect at least some of the other people in this comm to be in the same situation as me - to be from a scientific background (or even scientists themselves) and to try to spread awareness on how media misrepresents science, the scientific method, and scientists.
Unless you’re decontextualising the whole thing to talk about media-based delusions in general, even if the context screams “regarding science”.
(Or perhaps you’ll try to change goalposts and say something like "ackshyually, taking responsibility is something else lol lmao.)
Nope? Ok then I am not making an assumption,
Even if your assumption was true (it is not), it would be still an assumption. You’re still vomiting certainty about something you cannot reliably know, such as what all individuals in a whole group of people do or don’t.
I am stating human nature
I think that both of us know that you’re bullshitting.
*just to point out another assumption you’re voicing in your comment: “It is why we have a racist reality tv show actor as president”. Why do you think everybody here is American?
