  1. Tell me you don’t know what you’re talking about without telling me your clueless, gj. Didn’t Bjorn just say to use logic and critical thinking? Fail.

  2. I got a nice Nietzsche quote for the lovers of quotes: “Regular and rapid progress in the sciences is possible only when the individual is not obliged to be too mistrustful [misstrauisch] in the testing of every account and assertion made by others in domains in which he is a relative stranger: the condition for this, however, is that in his own field everyone must have rivals who are extremely mistrustful and are accustomed to observe him very closely. It is out of this juxtaposition of ‘not too mistrustful’ and ‘extremely mistrustful’ that the integrity of the republic of the learned originates.” In this passage, Nietzsche makes clear that scientific inquiry is essentially a distributed social process. Those close enough to a given topic are the only ones who are well-positioned to evaluate and criticize a given piece of work. If it passes muster through this peer-review, then others with less expertise in the relevant field are licensed to accept and build on it. Of course, this process is not infallible, but it is the best that can be achieved by finite creatures such as ourselves.

  3. Congrats on doing well I hope you keep it up but can you explain how on the one hand science is right about the shape or the earth but wrong about other things? Since you self-identify as a CT I’m going to assume you’re anti-vax? How do you justify this contradiction?

  4.  @broadcasttttable  tbh technically you can’t even trust yourself lol. Do you think your memory is accurate? It isn’t

  5.  @richardduplessis1090  what about the millions of ppl that are fine?

  6. Or they search a little and then think they found the truth. Even well meaning ppl like Bjorn, like when he spoke on vaccines. As Nietzsche said: “Regular and rapid progress in the sciences is possible only when the individual is not obliged to be too mistrustful [misstrauisch] in the testing of every account and assertion made by others in domains in which he is a relative stranger: the condition for this, however, is that in his own field everyone must have rivals who are extremely mistrustful and are accustomed to observe him very closely. It is out of this juxtaposition of ‘not too mistrustful’ and ‘extremely mistrustful’ that the integrity of the republic of the learned originates.” In this passage, Nietzsche makes clear that scientific inquiry is essentially a distributed social process. Those close enough to a given topic are the only ones who are well-positioned to evaluate and criticize a given piece of work.

Of course, this process is not infallible, but it is the best that can be achieved by finite creatures such as ourselves.

  8. Wait, doesn’t that make you a self-appointed expert? You got a biomedical degree then? Plz have some consistency. “Plandemic”? Ridiculous. Have some Nietzsche: “Regular and rapid progress in the sciences is possible only when the individual is not obliged to be too mistrustful [misstrauisch] in the testing of every account and assertion made by others in domains in which he is a relative stranger: the condition for this, however, is that in his own field everyone must have rivals who are extremely mistrustful and are accustomed to observe him very closely.

  9. Well said, reminds me of Nietzsche regarding trust & science: “Regular and rapid progress in the sciences is possible only when the individual is not obliged to be too mistrustful [misstrauisch] in the testing of every account and assertion made by others in domains in which he is a relative stranger: the condition for this, however, is that in his own field everyone must have rivals who are extremely mistrustful and are accustomed to observe him very closely. It is out of this juxtaposition of ‘not too mistrustful’ and ‘extremely mistrustful’ that the integrity of the republic of the learned originates.” In this passage, Nietzsche makes clear that scientific inquiry is essentially a distributed social process.

  10. You just perfectly described a flat earthers viewpoint. Nietzsche may be interesting here: “Regular and rapid progress in the sciences is possible only when the individual is not obliged to be too mistrustful [misstrauisch] in the testing of every account and assertion made by others in domains in which he is a relative stranger: the condition for this, however, is that in his own field everyone must have rivals who are extremely mistrustful and are accustomed to observe him very closely.

  11.  @nev-lj7tb  no actually we know the earth is round because of science lol. The ancient Greeks had already figured this out by doing experiments. And Bjorn is perfectly justified to defer to the body of scientific knowledge based on empirical data. The issue is that he does not do this for vaccines due to the fallacious thinking

  14. Even well meaning ppl like Bjorn can be ignorant as well, such as his opinions on vaccines for example

  16. You sound pretty deep down the rabbit hole yourself, have some Nietzsche: “Regular and rapid progress in the sciences is possible only when the individual is not obliged to be too mistrustful [misstrauisch] in the testing of every account and assertion made by others in domains in which he is a relative stranger: the condition for this, however, is that in his own field everyone must have rivals who are extremely mistrustful and are accustomed to observe him very closely.

  18. What truth is that? We vaxxed ppl and now covid is pretty much gone, science 1. Conspiracy 0. Funny how all the theorists are ignorant on the science. Nietzsche says it well: “Regular and rapid progress in the sciences is possible only when the individual is not obliged to be too mistrustful [misstrauisch] in the testing of every account and assertion made by others in domains in which he is a relative stranger: the condition for this, however, is that in his own field everyone must have rivals who are extremely mistrustful and are accustomed to observe him very closely.

  19. Indeed, ppl ignorant of the science jumping to conclusions after poor research. Even Bjorn has fallen into this trap, but we know he means best. Nietzsche says it well: “Regular and rapid progress in the sciences is possible only when the individual is not obliged to be too mistrustful [misstrauisch] in the testing of every account and assertion made by others in domains in which he is a relative stranger: the condition for this, however, is that in his own field everyone must have rivals who are extremely mistrustful and are accustomed to observe him very closely.

  20. Yeah, like Nietzsche said: “Regular and rapid progress in the sciences is possible only when the individual is not obliged to be too mistrustful [misstrauisch] in the testing of every account and assertion made by others in domains in which he is a relative stranger: the condition for this, however, is that in his own field everyone must have rivals who are extremely mistrustful and are accustomed to observe him very closely.

  24. Well said, I will add a quote from Nietzsche that I hope Bjorn will see at one point as well. You will prob know why if you’ve seen his covid videos. Even well meaning ppl like Bjorn can be misguided like this: “Regular and rapid progress in the sciences is possible only when the individual is not obliged to be too mistrustful [misstrauisch] in the testing of every account and assertion made by others in domains in which he is a relative stranger: the condition for this, however, is that in his own field everyone must have rivals who are extremely mistrustful and are accustomed to observe him very closely.

Those close enough to a given topic are the only ones who are well-positioned to evaluate and criticize a given piece of work.

Of course, this process is not infallible, but it is the best that can be achieved by finite creatures such as ourselves.

  25. 😅 no still just tin foil mate, here is some Nietzsche on the subject of science: “Regular and rapid progress in the sciences is possible only when the individual is not obliged to be too mistrustful [misstrauisch] in the testing of every account and assertion made by others in domains in which he is a relative stranger: the condition for this, however, is that in his own field everyone must have rivals who are extremely mistrustful and are accustomed to observe him very closely.

  28. Bruh, you think the face-masks are bad for you? Do you believe everything on the internet? Lol. You got any sources to back that up? What’s that trust you? Yeah…. No. You did scientific research? No? Just listened to some bs on the internet by someone that made shit up? Apply some common sense, critical thinking & logic

  29. It’s like Nietzsche was on to something here, not related to you of course. You clearly have a biomedical degree and education. “Regular and rapid progress in the sciences is possible only when the individual is not obliged to be too mistrustful [misstrauisch] in the testing of every account and assertion made by others in domains in which he is a relative stranger: the condition for this, however, is that in his own field everyone must have rivals who are extremely mistrustful and are accustomed to observe him very closely.

  30. Tbh not entirely accurate, we are not islands. Ppl live in a society and that society shapes us as well. You learn this in the social sciences.

  31. I also want to know how it saved your life, and indeed US media has been some of the worst media in the West. They know what sells and they milk it hard giving Americans a skewed view of reality eg. Thinking crime is rising while it is dropping (cf Bowling for Columbine). It’s not state propaganda though lol, that’s Russia you’re thinking about

  32.  @richardduplessis1090  you need some Nietzsche in your life, here u go: “Regular and rapid progress in the sciences is possible only when the individual is not obliged to be too mistrustful [misstrauisch] in the testing of every account and assertion made by others in domains in which he is a relative stranger: the condition for this, however, is that in his own field everyone must have rivals who are extremely mistrustful and are accustomed to observe him very closely.

  33. ​ @thanemcewen6737  you're going to have to say a bit more than that before it becomes more than a random assertion though? for example, I'll disprove in the same way: nu-uh. Tbh I don't even know what idea you are referring to

  34. Probably not needed but I want to add in general: and vaccines do actually work. Science ppl, learn it before you judge it. Have some Nietzsche: “Regular and rapid progress in the sciences is possible only when the individual is not obliged to be too mistrustful [misstrauisch] in the testing of every account and assertion made by others in domains in which he is a relative stranger: the condition for this, however, is that in his own field everyone must have rivals who are extremely mistrustful and are accustomed to observe him very closely.
