    I’ve already had people demand “source?” for the most mundane facts. Why yes steroids do enhance physical ability.

      Yep. And they do it for things that you KNOW were covered in everyone’s basic education. Stuff everyone should already know without someone needing to explain it.

      People used to have the decency to at least feel embarrassment if they needed to have something explained that a child learns in school. But these days people actually get angry if you tell them they’re wrong 🤷‍♂️

        I’ve felt this exact feeling before. It feels like trying to discuss algebra with someone who didn’t learn basic addition. If we can’t agree on certain ground rules then discussion is never going to be productive, or will take 3x as long to come to the same conclusion. I feel like it’s willful stubbornness as much it is not understanding. People just google points to support their argument instead of being curious and researching the topic.

        I do wonder how many of them actually are children.
