    you’re telling me you can’t take something at face value until you’ve collected enough secondary information to validate or verify it?

    That’s what you’re saying. Do you know what you’re saying?

    deliberately believing everything you read online without questioning the validity, makes the world a worse more confusing place.

      reading/seeing something and believing something are not the same.

      if I told you that the metric for a meter was incorrect and it’s actually longer than what we currently understand it to be, would you believe me? would you take that information at face value and attempt to validate it somehow? what would make you believe it’s true?
