@meowski cherrypicking quotes that happen to match your beliefs doesn't get us anywhere.

@meowski I would like to get to what's actually going on in the world.

I don't give a fuck if you take a jab or not. What you put into your body is none of my business.

@nicholas @Captain_Jack_Sparrow @cjd @realcaseyrollins

@volkris @nicholas @Captain_Jack_Sparrow @cjd @realcaseyrollins ok well the quotes aren't "cherry picked" they're relevant quotes presented in a nice meme format for you to read and think about.

these highly respected scientists are telling you it's completely valid and logical to not trust the science

@meowski did you include any quotes from people that don't support your conclusions? Certainly they exist.

Therefore they are cherry picked and confirming your biases.

@nicholas @Captain_Jack_Sparrow @cjd @realcaseyrollins

@volkris @nicholas @Captain_Jack_Sparrow @cjd @realcaseyrollins so then what, i should find some quotes that are stupid and wrong on the topic, like fauci saying "trust the science" and include those along with the quotes i agree with, or what are you suggesting?

are you flipping retarded?
Funny, when you are parroting *trust the science bro* talking points, you don't also juxtapose those with thoughtful opposing remarks. 🤔 Almost like it's all a fake meta-objection so you don't have to grapple with the content of the argument presented.....

@nicholas It's almost like I'm trying to get to the core of your own position irrespective of anyone else.

Your perspective should be able to stand on its own, one would think.

Bro, wut?

You crashed this thread turning your nose up at @realcaseyrollins@social.teci.worldfor just telling you what he thinks:

>can you prove your case with anything other than appeals to deep down knowledge?

Oh, but don't you dare prove your case by citing many respected experts in the field because then it's just:

>cherrypicking to confirm your biases.

It's just bad-faith meta-argument with you all the way down.

@nicholas what do you think my case is?

What am I leaving unproven?

*You* said that; that's quoting *you*.

If you need a refresher the thread is right up there 👆

@nicholas said what? What quote are you quoting?

I have no idea what you're going on about, and I'm asking for clarification, but you're not giving me anything to work with here.

I don't know what you're talking about, and you're not clarifying what you're trying to say.

I asked what my case is, and you've just said something about your own quotations, which doesn't answer my question about what you think my case is.

Since you can't remember your own posts in this thread, and can't figure out how to scroll up to review them, and can't parse simple A ⊃ B logic, and don't know how a quote works; I retract my prior statement.

You may not in fact be arguing in bad faith, you might actually just be evincing the Dunning-Krugar effect.

@nicholas it's not about me, but about you.

I'm trying to figure out what you're talking about, and you're not really helping with your obsession over me.

Let's talk about you and what you think. I'm just not that interesting.

>I’m just not that interesting.

Couldn't agree more. Good day sir.
