  Should we believe EVERYTHING scientists say?
There is something quite strange about human beings from a behavioral point of view. They say that we must form our own ideas, have free will, and not swallow everything we hear.
But I have often noticed that they do the opposite.
I have never understood this discrepancy.
Don't laugh, friends, but it is quite logical, in the human system, that people like the buffoon Python accuse me of being a conspiracy theorist, because I am immensely more Cartesian than him insofar as I practice methodical doubt (which has saved my life at least once).
Let's take the case of Python. What could be less scientific than this guy who swallows everything? The guy, you tell him that four days after its first outing, the Titanic hit a flying saucer, he swallows it, and those who doubt, he attacks them, he humiliates them, he harasses them, he beats them up like an Orwellian police bob.
Incapable of questioning an idea that was instilled in him (he read it in the newspapers) he swallows it without even making a face.
Should we believe what scientists say? Should we believe what the media say? For him, yes, we must swallow everything and not think.
Personally, I am a conspiracy theorist and damn, I love it.
I think we must apply methodical doubt.
And me, when someone tells me that the Titanic hit a flying saucer, I don't believe it at all. The ship was poorly designed enough not to break apart in half on its own in the middle of the ocean just hours after it was launched.
Problem: it's too inexpressible. What will entire nations think of us if we reveal that Royal Navy ships break apart on their own as soon as they are launched? We had to invert a flying saucer, and millions of little Pythons would not only swallow it all, but declare total war on conspiracy theorists and other doubters.
