I was thinking about recent phrase on Twitter about the “arguing with strangers on internet” and I think in reality it’s similar to this circle.

    I don’t think the “scientists” circle is there in reality.

    A world in which politicians actually needed to justify their actions by scientific research would be way better than this one. Yes, I know this is unreliable and biasable in a million ways, it’d still be better - it’s harder to make stuff up via a few intermediaries than to just make stuff up directly. Modern politicians are just linked directly to the twitter circle.

    Stranger, I completely disagree that’s how it works. I won’t elaborate as to why or give anything remotely resembling proper counter points or references. I just know I’m right and damnit, I need to tell you that you’re wrong!

    Am I doing this right? Yes, I’m right. It is the children who are wrong.
