There isn’t enough time in the fucking day to validate everything you come across, and if you’re not doing the experiments yourself you’re trusting someone.
nobody is asking you to either validate everything nor trust anything.
you’re telling me you can’t take something at face value until you’ve collected enough secondary information to validate or verify it?
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?
