I don't have time to listen to 1000 dumb ideas per day. I have a life to live. Also, I don't want my brain to get infected with whatever got Joe Rogan. I'm fine

  > Also, I don't want my brain to get infected with whatever got Joe Rogan. If your brain is so fragile that it can't listen to some guy on a podcast without being "infected", then you're gonna have a hard time. Again, I'm not suggesting blind faith in dumb ideas. I'm not suggesting that you have to be an expert on anything. I'm suggesting that you have the will to say "I am not fully informed" when you don't know the answer.

    You already believe in hundreds of bad ideas and so do I. Feeding your brain bullshit reinforces bullshit output. On top of that the only thing most of us can say about almost everything under your rules would answered with 'I am not fully informed', shit, humanity isn't fully informed on anything.

Exactly. I'm calling for more modesty, and less political vitriol driven by a fictional, exaggerated sense of certainty. (Also, reinforcing that ideas cannot hurt you, which is an odd mental pathology that has become distressingly common as of late.)
