the thing I knew the most about. They argued it was unoriginal/conspiracy created, and they used bible verses out of context, deliberate misinterpretations, cherry picking, mistranslated versions of verses I knew the Greek behind. After that, I couldn't believe in-

Their 9/11 argument. If they were gonna be so uncharitable with something I knew about, I couldn't trust them with other things. This is how I feel with a lot of popular narratives around oppression, privilege, trauma, etc. I find the narrative flawed for a subset I know a lot-

about (woman raised in extreme subculture of patriarchy), and so I just don't trust the narratives people use about all the other stuff, even though it seems sensible enough at it's surface to draw in large support.

good work averting Gell-Mann Amnesia! (I was shown zeitgeist in 10th grade history class, maybe by a substitute?

If someone gives you cherrypicked data, anything can seem compelling if you don't know to be on the lookout.
