You got through a pretty well formed paragraph about forming rational opinions, & still somehow managed to wind up back at “safety concerns are BS”.

I have news for you. 90% of what’s on the internet is BS. You can choose to look at the least coherent arguments from the other side & entrench yourself in your present opinion, or you can seek out the productive dialogue & take part with an open mind. If you’re convinced everyone around you is such an unethical idiot, all you’re doing is building a wall around yourself that protects you from having to consider cogent points that contradict your opinions.

Maybe you & the younger generation that sees everything so clearly might try “keeping it 80%” & give a 20% effort to listening & not assuming any opinion that challenges yours is BS.
