That video only gained traction in social media because it is telling people want they want to hear. It's always important to filter everything you read through "do I want to believe the thesis/conclusion of this?" Because a lot of people throw critical thinking out the window when they want to believe something.
- tux1968 12y agoThat's not a refutation of the facts presented in the video though. There seem to be an equal number of people who support the status quo and don't want to look at facts that challenge what they want to hear. The facts should speak for themselves regardless of what each of us wants.
