The line that snagged me: “Just because you don’t understand something doesn’t mean it’s fake.” That feels like a good motto for this moment in history. I appreciate how you hold space here for doubt without collapsing into relativism — not an easy tightrope. Also, “Flerfs”? That’s going in the vocabulary vault. 😅

Many of the conspiracies that you cite could be eliminates by an introductory logic class. I've never taken one, but have picked up enough while teaching at a classical school that I would benefit greatly. I've been looking for one online
