I'm talking about having a healthy sense of self-doubt.
History shows us that the imprimatur of science is used to advance hubris-driven, pernicious social ideas of a time.
The take-away is that when you're absolutely convinced that some new trend is moral and liberating, you should at the very least try to imagine the possibility that you're not only wrong but actively doing harm.
- smt88 6y agoThere are hundreds of studies investigating whether harm is done. You seem to be speculating without doing any research first.
