Climate change denial is a psy-op by reptilians who want to make the world warmer because they're cold blooded. Anti-vax influencers are there to cull the xenophobes before the reptilians come out of the egg.

Okay maybe I really want to believe there are cool reptiles who are kinda dumb but ultimately want to be our friends because otherwise we're making ourselves stupider and deader and we don't even get to meet scaley twinks.

“Space Lord” by Monster Magnet is a classic banger for the ages and it’s a tragedy that it’s been all but lost to time.

Do NOT say the "Q" word at work. It's the one that is a synonym for silent. I will in fact beat you when it hits the fan.

Not answering directly the post, but something in line with it: I believe not all (maybe most of) knowledge is scientific, but that doesn't invalidate it. A lot of things can't be studied by the scientific method, but people intuitively understood and learned about it along the centuries.

This should be common sense, but society has gone crazy about considering only science as knowledge and now ignores valuable learnings that sometimes are more right then science itself.

This should not be confused with negating science (like global warming deniers): when you can study something by the scientific method normally you will get deeper and with less mistakes with it. But when you don't, you can still have knowledge by other methods

Dissociative identity disorder. I have been diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder, a condition that is recognized by some psychiatrists but not universally accepted within the field.
