    Bro, come down out of your own asshole.

    Your real, no kidding argument is that this meme template best explains that people believe windmills cause cancer / vaccines cause autism / XYZ crazy thing is that the current state of education is * checks notes * “slave conditioning” and patents are being conspiratorially hidden for “emancipating technologies”? Really?

    This to you is a rational following of the discussion and context, not itself a wild non sequitur (note the spelling)?

    I don’t care what branch of philosophy you’re studying or what argument logic piques your interest because it just isnt relevant here. You’ve shoehorned an unrequested and unsubstantiated conspiracy theory into a post about people believing improbable and/or deranged things. And no, making your own footnote isnt a substantiation.

    You can’t “I am very smart” this into making sense, even by miscounting logical fallacies or trying to couch it as an epistemological discussion which this is not.

    Just… yikes.

    Edit: To save my own brain cells, I’m just going to laugh and block you. Considering you are having similar discussions with others in this thread, don’t take it from me, let me recommend “Fantasyland” by Kurt Andersen. I would specifically the middle and later chapters. Even if you don’t read it in a particularly introspective way, it’s a pretty interesting read / listen.

    Cheers
