      I don’t click random links. If you got an argument go ahead and make it. You shouldn’t need someone to do your thinking for you even if you believe knowledge is impossible.

        I don’t have the time or energy to explain the fundamentals of science to you. Karl Popper did so extensively already.

        Ultimately, your behavior and beliefs are your business. I was just trying to offer some insight from the perspective of someone who used to have the same beliefs and behavior. Like I said, I don’t particularly expect you to listen. I wouldn’t have.

            Like I said, your behavior is your business. Refusing to benefit from the experience of others is a lonely and stunted existence, but the only one who can choose to change your behavior is you. I hope your teenage years aren’t as bitter as mine were.

                Evidence about what?

                That human perception is fundamentally limited and that scientific rationality isn’t a complete corpus of absolute facts, but a tool that can only refine models to make them more internally consistent, which occasionally has blind spots? The evidence is every heretofore discarded scientific theory.

                That there have been found invisible entities, originally laughed away as nonsense, only to be vindicated years later but improvements in sensory abilities? The evidence is germ theory.
