    So you don’t believe in science? Peer-reviewed studies? It’s only valid if you make the hypotheses, and do the experiments yourself?

      How much of what you follow on the news follows the scientific process?

      I do believe in science. But I also believe that humans will lie and distort the truth when it suits their purpose.

        So you do believe in giving someone the authority to “decide” (or really just tell you) what objective reality is.

          Let me put this in simpler language you’ll understand: I don’t think it is a good idea to empower the government, or some corporation to be the arbiter of what the truth is. Because they will inevitably abuse this power.

          It does not mean I reject the concept of objective reality, or our ability to learn it.

              Do you want a Trump appointed judge to decide if what you are saying is misinformation?

              Replace Trump with the crazy person from your country.
