Spoken by someone who clearly has no understanding of how science works.

Science can't be manipulated to fit a narrative.

That's impossible.

No of course not

Someone who writes wikki’s about an elf sim trusts all studies, and we should too

Religion can't be manipulated to fit a narrative.

That's impossible.

I recently saw a “study” proving a particular form of exercise produced better results than conventional lifting

Turns out that the sample size was like 9 people, and the participants had a study conductor yelling at them the entire time “come on! You can do it! One more rep!” like a personal trainer. So turns out since these were casual lifters who never used personal trainers, it wasn’t the exercise that produced the results but the verbal encouragement

That’s just one example, and I don’t even think that was INTENTIONAL manipulation. That was just accidental. There’s still a shitload of sketchy intentional manipulation of studies

You have to really study any study you hear and when you do, you will probably find it’s bullshit

"Do you think we should defend ourselves if Russia nukes the US?"

"Uh yeah..."

STUDY: 100% of Americans think we should nuke Russia

"these guys have access to the book, I cant read, they can, so it's best to trust the vatican"

That's literally life before the printing press.

Sound familiar??

Science is the new religion. We are the new heretics.

I think they use the Septuagint but I know they don't use the Latin Vulgate.
