How do we have an adult conversation when the children are in charge?

  when you ask: “Why is science better than the alternative? (And what is that alternative, exactly?)” people will treat you like the child you really seem to be

    I feel like they’re just out to prove the name of this community wrong. They’re doing a great job!

    Really?

    Science is better than the alternative because it delivers higher quality models. But that’s just my opinion.

    Alternatives to science are tradition, consensus, authority, personal experience. But there might be others.

    There you go Einstein.

      No they are not. It’s been explained to you plenty, you’re just intentionally being obtuse.

      so, if you are such a big brain, why would you ask a question you already know the answer to? Oh, because your smooth brain thinks this is reddit and you think you are a good troll. sadly, you are just a pathetic excuse of a troll. learn more before you attempt again, then you wont look stupid to the whole world, and its now forever, so you can look back on this in a few years and cringe like all of us are at this moment. good luck wannabe troll

  Don’t engage in this thread folks. This user has been trolling all day.

    Oh hello mr “I really like science but I don’t actually know diddly about science”.

  Is this referencing actually children being in charge? Such as a school activity or a family activity? Or are we talking about politics?

    Check the other posts that user has made so far, and their reactions in the comment sections. Definitely a troll.

    Definitely a troll, probably politically motivated if you check their previous posts

    I’m talking about conversation here on social media. Where anything that strays too far from the mainstream (where adults are often inclined to wander) is labelled trollish.

  Don’t feed the troll. That’s the same guy who recently asked how actors deal with turning evil after having played evil roles, as if it was something that automatically happens.

    They’ve been at this all day on a number of posts.

  Spell the topics so the children don’t understand it, or speak of it using obtuse and oblique language.

  • froghorse@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    Ahhh. I believe that technique was employed in the middle ages when the children were burning adults at the stake. Frame your forbidden discourse in allegorical terms. Homunculi and philosopher’s stones.

      or use pop culture references that predate the children. Shaka, when the walls fell!

  If the children are small, they don’t understand anyways. If they are larger, a babysitter may be the best option.

    I don’t think the question refers to literal children.

    Getting trump a babysitter would be hilarious though.

  • froghorse@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    But who babysits the babysitter?
