But I said the phrase "scientists don't know everything" so now you have to listen to my bullshit.

- an anecdote your cousin told you
While they don't refute it, enough of those do prevent better science from happening though, especially when it's needed.
Foucalt would probably be opinionated on this.
Hey, but measles in Texas, and tuberculosis in Missouri, are making comebacks!
Ivermectin! RFKjr! Bleach!
Learn to ReSeArcH!!
Aren't those just from the gay space lasers and Jewish hurricanes? I feel like their resistance means we're on the right path.
ok, but what about three Youtube videos?
As long as they're shorts, only showing one vague, unverifiable, third or fourth hand anecdote each.
That makes sense. I heard that my college roommate's pen pal said something like that.
Maybe, if they're from potholer54
All hail potholer54! The guy is awesome
Are they at least 3rd-hand, (or more) spurious sources with an inscrutable chain of custody, because if not, you can miss with that.

Is there any other kind?
Counterpoint: nuh-uh (They et. al., good ol' days).

They et. al. (Good ol' days). Trump proves that YouTube videos about The Creator that validate your feelings are equivalent to science. Many People Are Saying, 1(2), 10–20. Things I done heard. https://doi.org/I forget
Counter-counterpoint: uh... damnit, I forgot the tooth (already!?).
A statement which somehow makes so much more sense than the rest of 2025 so far.
You might want to banana.

That why its such a shame that big corporations can and do regularly buy scientists opinions in exchange for funding setting up a ill give $xxx.xxx for your environmental impact study to not blame my coal mine. Thus by negating the peer review process. science can sadly no longer be taken at face value with out knowing who funded it and why. i miss trusting scientists who are clearly smarter than me because they fell in to the capitalist greed trap RIP real science we should have treated you better and i am sorry.
How often does this actually happen? The cases where this does occur stand out because they are rare. I really hate the implication that scientists are not trustworthy because some individuals acted in bad faith. Scientific fraud is real but it doesn't mean you can't trust science.

This is why you never trust a single source. For anything. Reputable news organizations have never trusted single sources, they always use multiple sources to verify information they are told. Science is not immune from this, and never has been. And even for those that you've followed in the past, times change, especially in a capitalist society with a massive oligarchy that owns the news companies, like modern western civilizations. Trust, but verify.

don't worry, science as conclusions derived from research will soon be replaced by bullshit psuedo-research-AI-word-vomit derived from equally bullshit pre-determined conclusions
Did you write this with deepseek?
