Whenever something cannot be questioned, that’s a tell that it ought to be questioned.
“Are you really going to question the integrity of the election results?” Yes.
“Are you really going to question the safety and efficacy of vaccines?” Yes.
“Are you really going to question the soundness of the US dollar?” Yes.
Anyone who is familiar with the scientific method knows that the way to get at truth is to ask questions and seek answers from first principles. It may be true that the election results are accurate, that some vaccines are safe and effective, and that the US dollar system is sound, but if so, no panic should arise from asking these questions. It should be easy to verify that every vote corresponds to an eligible citizen, that every vaccine has undergone long-term double-blind placebo-controlled trials with clear results, and that the US dollar system is on a sustainable path to paying off its debt and remaining the global reserve currency for decades to come. Yet it isn’t. Ask yourself why.
In a civil society, challenging assumptions and thinking critically should be encouraged, not vilified.
