It's fun that there's always a "meme" to reply to your nonsense with that fits because your argument in this situation is ridiculous and others have already created media to chastise it as such.

OF COURSE YOU DONT JUST BLINDLY BELIEVE EVERYTHING FRIENDO.

Expertise is a thing though, and in this case the topic has been thoroughly discussed and studied. Not sure why you picked this conversation to jump in with your "ah HA! You took it as faith, the same faith people put in the Bible! They didn't see the facts first hand and neither did you! So I have a Big Brain™ and you're just a sheep!"

Expertise is a thing? Really? Well now I have seen the light.

Thank you for stooping to aid this pitiful worm, in his confusion. You truly are a kind and generous soul.

But really. You people act like 12th century Christian zealots about this stuff.

I can offer some actual help.

You're trying to make a point, but you're going about it in literally the worst way. Right now all of your responses to pretty much everyone here are aggressive and insulting. That's 100% self serving. It makes you feel good but fails at what you're attempting to do. The first thing that happens when people are confronted with being insulted or being talked down to is to "close" their minds to what you're trying to say and to get defensive.

If after reading this your reaction is "that's a you problem," then you don't actually care about whatever point you were trying to make and you're just trying to make yourself feel smarter than everyone else.

My responses could have had more tact as well.

That’s 100% self serving. It makes you feel good but fails at what you’re attempting to do.

I would argue that it's pretty obvious their whole point is to feel good about themselves, as all they've done is put other people down in a way that they are "clearly" above, and haven't even bothered to make any type of point what-so-ever.

If I'm being generous the point seemed to be "don't blindly trust what you hear from anyone, even if they have credentials. Make an effort to understand."

I can understand that point to a degree, as we saw there were plenty of Dr.Oz types have have a doctorate in... something... and people choose to believe them because they say the things you want to hear like "screw the Gates tracking vaccine, ivermectin is proven to work! (Just hope they don't ask what my doctorate is in, it's children's literature.)"

But yeah, their delivery has a lot to be desired lol

I start nice then my disgust starts outweighing my reason and it's downhill.

Then the patronizing vultures swoop in.
