    Because you refuse to believe what your senses are clearly showing you! This is the result of multigenerational propagandization. Fine. Don’t believe it. Merely suspend disbelief, and it’s good faith.

    I’m not the brightest bulb in the chandelier, but it’s not brain-bending to grasp this concept.

      I refuse to believe that which I’ve seen no evidence for.

      So long as it is more convenient to sarcastically quip about how you’re right instead of explaining it, I will struggle to be convinced by your words.

            Wow, you really are arguing in bad faith. What I said was:

            Because you refuse to believe what your senses are clearly showing you!

              I’m literally confused as fuck right now. Help explain this in a different way.

              I provided evidence for a thing I believe in. You’re accusing me of refusing to believe the thing I showed evidence for?

                What you’re experiencing is cognitive dissonance, and I experienced it, too, when I came to these magazines. Sometimes I still do. I think walking away, getting proper rest, nutrition, and a long walk, other quiet time to sit with yourself and let the competing thoughts quiet, then rereading the thread before making further argument or further asking questions will be helpful to you. You can jot your questions down to ask later.
