I was thinking people who are “anti-woke” are that way because “woke” challenges your thinking & it’s uncomfortable for people. This explains it.

And that's why climate change will never be taken serious. So long as someone says "everything is fine", the majority of people will go with that.

This isn’t just true for politicians. Many people try to sell certainty

Are you aware that you are closing/pursing your lips during every break in your speaking? Is this conscious or unconscious? Just curious 🕵🏻‍♂️🤓

I'm certain that my understanding and our knowledge of science will grow and change over time. The reality is that what I learn now may be disproven

That’s because uncertainty isn’t worth a shit, perhaps?

Twain said something like, "It's not what a person doesn't know that hurts them, it's what they know for sure that just ain't so."

Crazy how everything is backwards. Atheists claim to be logical. But in fact they are just confident.

I understand your point about the attitude towards what we think we know. However, we must assume the defense of what is most likely to be true.

It can be deeply uncomfortable to sit with uncertainty, and the more insecure or frightened someone is, the stronger the pull towards black/white...

2 + 2 is always equal to 4 in mathematics. You don't need to test it; you can rationally prove it.

Then the answer is to be certain about your rationality. Don’t him and haw about whether or not 2+2 is 4.

Nope. Experience plus intelligence woukd tell you the answer is not 5. Politicians work in grey area not hard numbers. Bad example.
