Maybe if people with your ideology only make things that harm you it’s an opportunity to reflect.

    Feel free to believe that but social sciences are a science and there’s a reason anecdotal evidence is not valued highly.

    Should we discard all of quantum mechanics because of your lived experience with gravity? Obviously not.

      This is a wildly false comparison, social science theories can’t be compared to physics. Now you’re just being very silly on purpose.

      I cannot have a lived experience with gravity which is contrary to the existence of gravity. It is literally impossible. Why am I wasting my time explaining this? You know how silly this is.

        They definitely can social science is just as much a science as “hard” sciences and extrapolating anecdotes to make general statements is equally garbage in both fields.

        How much do you know about quantum mechanics and how gravity works differently at that scale and thus the need for an entire new field called quantum gravity?

        Your lived experience of gravity as an attractive force of on earth roughly 9.8m/s^2 would be in direct opposition to quantum gravity
