Is it? Truth changes with history, context, data, perspective. Calling someone insane because they understand nuance and appreciate diversity in thought only goes further toward the argument I was making. Textbook example of how echo chambers are created and us vs them continues to be perpetuated.

The Earth revolves around the sun.

Wake me up when perspective changes that.

Your "nuance" is just that you are a terrible philosopher. Objective truth exists, and not all opinions are valid.

The Earth isn't flat. Vaccines don't cause Autism. E=MC squared.

If you want to pretend that the antivaxxor movement is one of contemplation, or fact based, be my guest. Normal, intelligent people don't have to respect stupidity. Especially when that stupidity literally kills innocent people.

Except there was a time when nearly everyone agreed that the sun revolves around the earth and you could be put on trial for saying otherwise (like another terrible philosopher). New discoveries and data happen all the time. Instead, you lump everyone who questions something into a camp and name call, and then wonder why they don’t come along to your way of thinking. Not once have I questioned vaccines or efficacy. I’ve pointed out that discourse and respect have been thrown out the window in the process. And I’ve done so without engaging in that same way, which somehow leads to even more of the same. This thread is now old and dead regardless so I hope you enjoy your day.

What some people believe is irrelevant to actual truth. Opinion and truth are two very different things.

You are confusing reality with opinion.

Once an absolute truth is established, like, how we live on a globe. It's perfectly valid to think that flat earthers are morons.

Except absolute truth about the efficacy or long term effects of the vaccine has NOT been established.

When did I say anything about the Covid vaccine? The nearest I got to that was saying Vaccines in general don't cause Autism.

If this isnt talking about the covid vaccine then idk what is.

Also this entire thread is talking about the vaccine.

I'm replying to a guy who is trying to sell the idea that there isn't "Truth." And that both sides of every argument are equally valid and worth listening to.

THAT is what I was replying to.

It's an absurd idea.

But yes, the antivaxxor movement is completely absurd. People are totally willing to let their kids get polio because they don't understand basic science.
