I question the mainstream narrative every day.

On a sane and evidence-based level.

but what does that mean, exactly?

you question it but you'll do everything they say, anyway?

When politicians and the media tell me that tax cuts and other forms of corporate welfare will stimulate the economy, I reject that because it's bullshit.

When politicians and the media try to tell me that effectively punishing the unemployed will create jobs, I reject that because it is also bullshit.

I use critical thinking strategies and evidence based analysis to determine what is likely to be true and what is not likely to be true, regardless of whether it's the mainstream or some crazy conspiracy theorist on youtube or the voices in some pot smoker's head.

That's actually true, evidence or lack thereof doesn't appear to be an important aspect of how you form your world view.

Just for the record, a crazy person ranting on YouTube is not evidence.

thats because they are telling you about the evidence. they are not literal evidence, lol


if you want to pull up the documents and go to the locations described in the videos and see that its all true, you can do that.

but if you were the kind of person to go on trips like that, you wouldnt be overweight.
