      So if there’s certain material which, whenever a person encounters it, changes their mind, how do you account for that?

      Wouldn’t the simplest explanation for that be that this material contains compelling arguments people aren’t seeing outside that material?

        Or, and I know this is really out there, but maybe, just maybe, facts don’t actually care about your feelings.

          Yeah but you have no idea what claims are in these materials, because you think they’re too toxic to read.

            Completely untrue. I’m not afraid of news outlets. I’m not afraid of what the “others” have to say

            Pretty sure you’re talking about yourself here, champ.

        The History Channel makes compelling arguments for how extra-terrestrials built the pyramids. Compelling doesn’t always equal true.

          In this case I’m using to to mean compelling to people with a brain, not just “history channel made a speculation so I’m sold”
