"Science" is what gave us lobotomies, eugenics, and leaded gasoline. "Science" is what pathologized autism and homosexuality. Blindly trusting anything labeled as "science" is dangerous. Nobody is "dismissing" science here, FelixCress is just being skeptical, which they have every right to do.
"Blindly trusting science"
No-one is blindly trusting science.
I'm saying we know for a fact how depression affects your entire body.
"FelixCress is just being skeptical"
No, they're not. They're like a flat earther. They have absolutely no idea even of the basics of psychiatry.
This is why Trump won. People like you defending people like him. Not all opinions are equal.
You're making an argument about skepticism, but you trust a guy who doesn't have sources and doesn't reason his "it's just in your head" bullshit?
So anyone can claim literally anything they want and if anyone dares point out how we actually do know for a fact the Earth isn't flat, you'll get mad and start blaming those people for eugenics while defending some dipshit as "just skeptic" who's claiming the Earth is pancake shaped.
Fucking hell it's depressing just how strong the antiscience culture is.
Are you arguing just for the sake of argument? Nobody is denying that depression affects your entire body. If you're depressed, you're less motivated to get exercise, and insufficient exercise causes changes in your entire body. That's just one example. Do you really need a source to tell you that?
What the hell does trump have to do with this? What the hell is "antiscience culture"? Trump won because the majority of electoral votes were cast for him. Do you even know what the word "skepticism" means? If you're skeptic against claim X, that doesn't mean you automatically trust claim NOT X. You can be skeptical about both. Skepticism just means not accepting a claim is true until there is evidence that supports it. You know, like kind of like the scientific method.
"It's just in your head"
"Nobody is denting that depression affects your entire body."
This is what I mean. Youre defending this dipshit because you thought me rude. You're defending a willfully ignorant dolt who's literally saying "trustmebro" over me explaining how nothing is "just" in your head or your body because there is no such division in our bodies, and how depression can be induced extremely easily just by changing the physical environment of a person and limiting their nutrients.
So it's incredibly fucking reductive (and thus harmful misinfo) to say "it's just in your head". And you're defending a person who did that, because "he's just being skeptical".
You're like the right wing fuck nuts who try to read deeper meaning into Trump's demented babbling, saying what a genius he is while he's talking absolute gibberish..
He's not being skeptical. He's ignoring actual science and asserting his ignorant "trustmebro" facts. That's not skepticism ffs.
