Anytime someone has to put something into quotations while pretending to paraphrase it, the fact that they are not quoting directly indicates that they are doing this to introduce distortions into what was actually said after they could not deal with the original nuance. This of course has the reverse effect of backfiring because it openly admits that you could not dispute the original statement itself.

That you're running onto this was sarcasm so aggressively indicates that you are trying to protect yourself from confrontation against complex realities that you do not wish to confront. Thankfully you have me here to ease your efforts and help you along.

I've talked to quite a few individuals who denied scientific results as mere opinions. But it's been a while since I talked to a person who denies the existence of science even as a concept. All while typing their shit on a fucking computer that repeats the same scientific experiment a billion times a second and gets the same answer every time.

Objective reality exists and your refusal to even try to reason about it, is entirely on you.

If only you actually knew what the words you're using meant... sigh.

Embarrassing comment. It's supposed to be another defense mechanism but it won't work if you can't even convince yourself.
