observation about myself and some philosophical rambling
pre-covid-drama i'd usually - within some boundaries of course - trust what scientists claim, even if it is the popular idea. i'd never have doubted something like climate change.
post-covid-drama i tend to assume that everything remotely mainstream very likely is a cult or a psyop and not science, only thinly veiled as it.
look at the replication crisis we have. except for _very_ pure disciplines where you can break things down to pure logic or math it's very likely all bullshit by now.
or at least the _solutions_ presented from so many disciplines seem to be about the same bullshit. it's all about the same few prescribed ideas to "save the climate" or something something "diversity" whatever that term still means.
usually selling now stuff or building some new things. while imho the utmost importance wrt the climate should be making sure there are as diverse ecosystems as possible because those are much more robust when handling environmental changes - especially the slow gradual change climate change supposedly is. i'm not even sure the scientists really are thinking this way, or just writing these things as it is _expected_ from them out of fear being cancelled.
alas, the solutions pushed make sure that we kill off even more nature to fix the climate, just one example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigafactory_Berlin-Brandenburg#Site_concerns
i feel like dr gonzo in circus circus: this place is getting to me. i think i'm getting the fear.
You're not alone Boni, there's an American meme that basically says "gay until proven fake" which basically means everything is false or misrepresented.
And that's how I feel everything honestly and I'm not just talking about international nonsense, but the day to day "news" in my city. I am certain it's all outright fake or so misleading that it mighy as well be fake. If I take that into consideration then, how fake is everything abroad, in the places where I can't personally verify things?
Take it a step further, if everything NOW is fake, then what about old news? Were they also fake?
I'm not too bothered by this though, mainly because I know I'm not alone with this sentiment

i don't even read local papers anymore, it's 90% big news agency stuff, 9% feelgood stories, 1% actually important stuff. the agency stuff is the worst of course, with the lowest information density.
old stuff was as fake as objectivity is a meme. that's the magic of hunter thompson: put everything though the gonzo meatgrinder and you actually have something informative. it's like those carricature drawings which enlarge features into the grotesque but being the best portraits sometimes. the man put his degenerate behavior into doing something good.
i wish i knew more people in RL thinking like this. most of my old friends certainly don't. it's almost a wonder they didn't say things to me like @istvan wrote.
