Certain ideas (perspectives on reality, even though they are accurate) are not acceptable here

I'm so controversial on so many axes that I simply don't care that some of my opinions don't play well here and I've largely stopped talking about certain things here.

Like vaccines. No matter what I say, both pro-vaxxers and anti-vaxxers are equally hateful. And I feel it's not super important and it's just something I rarely talk about anymore.

Anyway, this is real off topic and I am feeling like you just don't really understand me or something on this topic and it's not important, really, for you in specific to understand every little thing I say.

I don't intend to continue this discussion.

Have a great day.

I too am controversial on many axes, which is maybe why I find you interesting - in an era when The Experts and Rationalists can't get even remotely hope to get their shit together, after being given decades to do it, seeing what the freaks even have to say about matters maybe isn't such a crazy idea.

It's sad that you and I differ on whether it's important to understand other people though. I wonder if there's anyone on this planet that is able to even consider the possibility that understanding is important, maybe even when it seems like it isn't. In any normal undertaking, if what you're trying isn't working, it would seem logical to try something else. But when the scope of the undertaking gets too large, this thinking seems to mysteriously change.

Enjoy your day as well. :)
