RE: "Scrutiny Of Knowledge" Series-Introduction
I agree with you regarding legalising weed. Or at the very least decriminalising it. However on...
Truth is not what you believe or want it to be. It is something beyond our beliefs, something we can’t influence on, but just accept.

Facts that are testable are scientific truth. But some truth(s) can be intensely personal and one person's immutable truth, another's fallacy. That happens in academe, too, even where mechanisms like peer review have been/are applied. Look at the Flat Earthers and the HIV/AIDS detractors. Not to mention fundamentatlists - at whatever end of the spectrum. Fanatics.
No matter, that's just me and semantics. I look forward to your series @psyceratopsb

None of flat earthers does know basic scientific principles like carbon dating for example. More so, there is correlation between conspiracy theories and ignorance

I agree. And they feed their fanaticism by ignoring and pooh poohing facts in favour of their "truth"
