People end up going down all these crazy rabbit holes instead of reading and analyzing scientific articles.

When someone said they did their own research, you know about to hear some crazy ass shit.

I miss the days when the context was 100% just looking for porn with a certain woman in it.

"Do your own research" just means "Search high and low for any one piece of evidence that supports your worldview, then ignore everything else."

And 9/10 times that research is either horribly innacurate or has been intentionally misinterrupted.

The amount of times I've seen people deny global warming by demonstrating Data from 1 location on Earth that only goes up to 1950 is ridiclous.

Really? But I read an article on global-truth-studies.com that said doing your own research is perfectly reliable.

The truth is that most people are not equipped to read and interpret scientific articles, even if they were trying to. Even a bachelor's in a science usually doesn't train that skill set. People should just listen to expert consensus.

The world's only hope is me--the guy reading Facebook articles while on the toilet. These scientists that have spent their whole lives doing research can't live up to my delusions of grandeur.
