Have we advanced as a species, really?
Look at what happens here if you offer an opinion that differs too much from the popular narrative.
Tribalism rears its ugly head.
You WILL be rejected as a troll. You will be yelled at, insulted and dogpiled. Your post will be downvoted and removed. You will be banned.
We are just as dogmatic and reactionary as religious zealots from a thousand years ago. The scientific enlightenment has not touched us.
The cutting-edge of social media technology is populated by dirty monkeys.
These people stink pretty bad.

You mean you made a reactionary statement, and now you’re mad that people reacted to it?
What did you expect them to do? Bow down and worship at your genius?

There’s a whole universe between “hostile reaction” and “bow down and worship”.
We call it “polite conversation”.
You should try it sometime.

You’re the one who came here and declared that everyone who doesn’t agree with you is a tribalist ape. My response was pretty polite in comparison.
