*Ahem*
After careful consideration, I’ve decided to abandon all reason, critical thinking/skepticism, and pursuit of endeavors involving science and technology.
Instead, I’m going to invest and devote my life toward hypocritical ideologies, contradictory claims unsupported by data and evidence as I concede with the status quo. I’ll believe whatever anyone tells me without considering their credentials or lack thereof. Blind faith will reassure me what I’m doing is right, and I will only associate with a core group who reinforce my confidence in a doctrine I don’t fully understand.
While on this path, I will adhere to what I feel sure is the actual truth, regardless of the facts and alternative means of understanding the world around me with which I have access to. When confronted with others who question my truth, I will take comfort in my certainty that they are wrong, I am right, and no one can convince me otherwise.
This is not an #aprilfoolsday stunt. It’s a reminder that people actively participate and commit to this kind of psychosis. And in America, this kind of ignorance is publicly and lawfully celebrated. #getreal
