> So he's either stupid or lying. Imagine that you're getting a haircut. You're sitting there for a half hour or so. To fill the empty space you say something mindless like, "this weather, huh?", and they say "I know right, it seems like it gets colder every winter". Do you write them off as a climate change denier? Or do you recognize that this is just two humans beating back the monotony of everyday life with a little small talk. Maybe there is more to the story, maybe they went on a 10 minute rant about bill gates and 5g, but that wasn't written here. Not everyone is a scientist giving a lecture. Not everyone is the enemy. Some people are just bog standard humans getting through the day.
