Seriously, fuck people who think being offended means they get to cry "triggered." If you ain't on the floor crying and hyperventilating from a panic attack, suck it up.
How are they an edge lord? They're correct. You don't get to use a condition you don't have as an excuse as to why you don't want to see something. That's wrong.
No, no they haven't. Science demands evidence and with evidence, there can be no "opposing viewpoints."
Without evidence, it is merely hypothetical and conjecture.
Nevermind that the website in question has dubious veracity.
I think it means more opinions and beliefs rather than science itself, just using scientists as a way to make it seem more official? Because unless you're talking theories, of course you can't have another viewpoint in science without being seen as crazy
@diyrogue, since you frame it that way, I realised they have committed the logical fallacy of "Appeal to Authority" by invoking "scientists."
Good catch.
Actually, hearing an opposing viewpoint, even when accompanied by evidence, tends to make people even more devout in their views. Granted, that doesn't look to pretty up on a meme but science is rarely succinct or pretty.
Yes, that is true but it also depends on how that information is presented to them.
It has been found that when a challenge and information is presented in a kind way, a way that engages them in a conversation and not a lecture, people are more likely to listen.
Similarly, if the conversation is approached in a such a way to not only engage them, but to also encourage them to ask their own questions, it has been shown that people are far more receptive to at least talking and listening.
Imagine that. Be nice to people and they will listen to you.
