      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.
