Facts are simple and facts are straight.
Facts are lazy and facts are late.
Facts all come with points of view.
Facts don’t do what I want them to.
Facts just twist the truth around.
Facts are living turned inside out.

Truth can be subjective but proven facts are not.
I truly cannot understand how people are even acknowleging such flawed ideas as feelings/opinions are equal to proven facts/deeds done/things said in context (and recorded)

Our only hope may be to trick these people into denying gravity and then throwing them off of a building.

As my relatives go, feeling is common and comes predigested through their media consumption, facts take work and they can’t be arsed to research. They’d rather listen to the radio and very nearly have breakdowns when it comes to back and forth fact finding and analysis.

Came here just for that. Thank you. This is the predictable outcome of a mindset present in the American conservative movement for more than a decade.

It’s progressed beyond research and fact-finding: a lot of people are now swallowing lies about what he said on TV or radio days or even hours before. It’s like willful dementia.

If anything, I’d say we are in a post-science era rather than a post-fact era. Never before have so many people had access to enough information (and misinformation) to realize that “proven” does not mean the same thing even to most scientists without extraordinary statistics training.

Engineer: The glass is twice as large as it needs to be. We’d have to look at the plans to know whether that’s an acceptable safety margin or a manufacturing mistake.
