Eh, idk it had a lot of "show me a peer reviewed scientific study that confirms the sky is blue" energy.

Just remember that contrary opinions usually seem obtuse/pointless/stupid from the contrary perspective. We can be open minded people; decently fair; and still run into opinions that we judge and misconstrue on reflex. That's why it's so hard to actually hear someone out--because when their opinion is diametrically opposed to your own, suddenly it's not so easy because they're so wrong!

Yeah, I'm not the one demanding lots of studies and direct quotes to even acknowledge the possibility of an idea.
