    I’m just trying to get direct answer to my questions I’ve put to you. you seem to think I won’t notice the deflection if you post enough tangential information.

    To you, everything is Lemmy commenting in the moment, fixated on your target fixation. The crisis is the forest, not me the tree.

    Why do you think this about me specifically?

    The blind faith that the entire world is adopting that sarcasm, satire, mocking, mockery will always fix problems.

    So you’re not even reading my responses in whole, I’ve put forward concrete actions to reverse the anti-intellectualism. You keep posting appeals to authority and no actual plans of actions, beyond magical thinking.

    quantity != quality

      You seem to think tiny-short commenting messages are all about you you you and your egoism.

      You keep posting appeals to authority

      That’s your thought-terminating cliche phrase. “Appeal to authority” magic words nullifies experts. Stephen Alfred Gutknecht quoted Neil Postman books from year 1985, so can’t listen to matching ideas, because the magic phrase “appeal to authority” nullifies it! Stephen Gutknecht appealed to books printed on paper and not screen-game interactive commenting! That nullifies ideas!

      “President Trump and members of his administration have often expressed a distrust of science and experts. That distrust is now helping to shape policies in several areas of government, from vaccines and health care to trade and the economy.”

        You seem to think tiny-short commenting messages are all about you you you and your egoism.

        explain in detail what makes you think this? be cogent and specific do not go off on a tangent, answer this one specific question alone if you have the intellectual capacity to do so, reply with irrelevant excepts and ignore the direct question if you do not
