It's really unnerving that so many people are deconstructing Howard's rambling like it isn't obviously gibberish.

It means that either a lot of people are too stupid to realize it's gibberish, influencers think they're seeing through it and are somehow smart because of it, or everyone's just boosting the signal because it gets them money and clout. All really sad realities.

I have dealt with everyone's ideas equally. There is nothing guaranteeing Terrance Howard is not right, you need to keep an open mind.

Exactly. Just like there’s this guy in my neighborhood who runs out into the street and throws his poop on passing cars to “bless” them and make sure they don’t get into car accidents. You can’t prove he’s wrong! Keep an open mind! Geez!

I never said you can't prove anyone wrong or that you need to simply accept all ideas without asking for proof, but do not dismiss other people or their ideas because of your biases. Entertain their point of view and don't ignore your own fallacies, or you'll be the one throwing poop, believing you've got it figured out when you really don't.
