One of the most aggravating things to me in this world has to be the absolutely rampant anti-intellectualism that dominates so many conversations and debates, and its influence just seems to be expanding. Do you think there will ever actually be a time when this ends? I'd hope so once people become more educated and cultural changes eventually happen, but as of now it honestly infuriates me like few things ever have.

    Science is the best means by which we can understand the objective truth about the world around us. It’s a shame that people are rejecting it in favour of conspiracy and superstition.

      That’s just human psychology at work. Many of these BS explanations are appealing to a certain type of mind.

      It’s the same to people. All the interest in the latest cancer medicine, people like science. They are not anti-science, they cannot tell the difference.
