> Meanwhile, the alternative medicine gurus have adopted microplastics as their excuse for nearly everything. Used to be, you could ignore the alt types because you had to buy their magazines to know what they were thinking. Now apparently everyone needs to be aware of what they are thinking and make sure they have the exact opposite opinions of the alt types so they seem sane or whatever. You can just ignore the them you know, they are not in the room with you.

    My mum was a kook in this sense. Steve Jobs, too. Critical thinking includes knowing that such people exist and aren't that rare.
