Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

And why can't everyone just click ignore on once? Can't you just leave the troll alone? Or we send him a chemtrail plane and brainwash him.

Because he represents a social phenomenon that runs through all educational and age groups.

It is the lack of ability to distinguish between natural science, other branches of science, statements by scientists as opinions, and statements by third parties about scientists’ opinions, which were previously equated with science. Everything is thrown together and out comes a loss of trust in that external expertise which says something different than what one felt they always knew anyway. The result is diving into a bubble where what one already had as prejudices applies. This bubble is protected by weak, sometimes completely absent self-reflection.

In fact, a (supposed) failure of science in area A says nothing about the quality of insights in area B. One would have to reassess every time. Simple heuristics like “once screwed up, always…” do not apply.

This is not understood, not applied, and is often the root of this whole conspiracy nonsense.

Environmental destruction... Oh, I see.

Very good, at least you do not deny man-made climate change!

I generally find it difficult to single people out in a group discussion. People get quoted and you can only read part of it (I assume, haven't tested it), and in general a conversation can quickly seem fragmented if individual posts are missing in between. I can also quite well ignore things manually. =)

It is the lack of ability to distinguish between natural science, other branches of science, expressions of opinion by scientists, and statements by third parties about opinions of scientists, which were previously equated with science.

That is absolute nonsense. Anyone who does not fit into the mainstream is mercilessly crushed. That is the reality. There is no proof of man-made climate change. A scientist who publicly questions it and can also prove it is immediately pushed into a corner and ostracized. That is a dictatorship of opinion. It is just like having to listen to the green nonsense on DLF every day. Here and elsewhere there is only this one irreversible opinion.

But take Prof. Bakhdi or Luc Montagnier. The latter a Nobel laureate and discoverer of the AIDS virus. Prof. Bakhdi is a virologist and was a professor at the University of Mainz for many years and trained many scientific staff who now work at Biontech.

Both warned about the dangerous side effects of the mRNA vaccines. Bakhdi explained this publicly in great detail right at the beginning of the vaccination campaign.

Both scientists were defamed and marginalized in the worst way. Bakhdi faces charges of incitement to hatred. Montagnier has meanwhile died due to age.

While the Ärztezeitung still honors him, Die Zeit labeled him a crank and right-wing extremist corona denier and lateral thinker.

In May 2021, he further fueled the spread of false information about COVID-19 vaccines. Earlier in the year, in an opinion article in the Wall Street Journal, together with Yale law professor Jed Rubenfeld, he criticized the vaccination mandates of US President Joe Biden.

For example, writes the Tagesspiegel. I can personally distinguish and evaluate. The statements of an insignificant German left-populist rubbish paper or a distinguished Nobel laureate.

For many vaccinated people, however, it would have been better not to listen to the German mainstream media for once, but simply to use their own brain.

I am not surprised, it was a small experiment on my part. The reactions reflect reality. At first, people denounce with buzzwords like conspiracy theory or denier. When that is not enough, calls for canceling and ignoring come.

This is exactly how the last three years could happen at all, with people being excluded and partly driven to death by hate speech.

It works on a small scale as well as on a large one, in this forum with a clear green bias even easier. Thanks to everyone who participated, whether voluntarily or not.

There is no proof of man-made climate change.

Yes there is

A scientist who publicly questions it and can also prove it is immediately pushed into a corner and ostracized.

By the majority, yes, because he is wrong. You cannot prove something that is false.

That is a dictatorship of opinion.

No. Everyone is allowed to have even the dumbest opinion.

It’s just like having to listen to the green garbage on DLF every day.

No one has to.

Here and elsewhere there is only this one irreversible opinion.

With yours, that makes two.

I can personally distinguish and evaluate.

I personally doubt that.

For many vaccinated people, it would have been better not to listen to the German mainstream media but just to use their own brains.

Are we already dead?
