Consider, 2020 and the story of COVID is going to be in history textbooks soon… and every bit of it is going to be bullsh*t. Now think about everything else you “learned” from a history book.

I say, Don’t trust verify.
Science has objectively verifiable data. When people laugh and mock at “trust the science” it is meaningless. Data is data is data. Interpreters can be wrong or misleading. Especially people who have no fucking idea how to interpret data. Brett Weinstein, Joe Rogan and weekender DIY “science enthusiasts” haven’t somehow “figured it all out”.
That’s not to say that mainstream media wasn’t a shitshow, or that politicians acted rashly or even insidiously. But I don’t buy this mainstream bitcoiner black pill, anti vax angle that “everyone’s lying to you man”. The world is obviously more nuanced than that and not everything is a psy-op to be figured out, just because fiat money appears to be.

I don’t mean to be argumentative and love your work guy, just offering a counter opinion as there tends to be none in bitcoin land

If you didn’t come away from Covid a rabid anti-vaxxer, you’ve gotta be retarded

Bitcoin is great but the "bitcoin community" has a tendency to believe the wildest things. Vaccines are amazing and anyone that tries to convince people otherwise are either ignorant af or trying to sell something. At the rate we're going (in the USA at least) it'll probably take a massive resurgen...

Consider, if you are prepared to do so, that some lies are the catalysts of other lies, enablers if you will, and fiat is one of these fundamental and corrupting containers encouraging a house built on the lie that effects don’t have causes. We know this is bullshit—as Ayn Rand dramatizes. The ...

Data is data is data is total nonsense. The standards for good data is so low that many clearly black criminals are listed as white to intentionally skew crime data. The number of Somali kids in daycare is completely made up. The number of people who died in hospitals from Covid was substituted with...

That's the point. Textbooks act as the "interpreters" you mention. They don't just provide data. Look at the citations in a modern, $150 university textbook. Wikipedia, Wikipedia, Article, another Textbook, citation-of-a-citation. It's credibility-laundering. There's the scientific method, which f...

Isn't *questioning* the definition of science? How much of the "data" we've been fed to believe as objective truths have we seen be overturned later? Countless. The concept of "trust the science" in and of itself feels anti-science... 😶

You have quite a number of false equivalencies and strawmans in this comment, too many to even respond to sensibly. So I'll just say that the idea of claiming that a piece of data is sound merely because it is a piece of data, will immediately lead you to a million absurd conclusions and contradicti...
