but I am the dumbass right?
look man,i appreciate the time you put in to make your case and attempt to lay it all out.now maybe everything you just laid out is honest and true,i do not know because I do not know you.i only know what you have shown me,and while you don't want to show me nothing,you are telling me everything.
let's look at your original reaction,shall we?
your first "tell" is that my comment was somehow an impuning of you being a "hick".something I never said,nor even implied.this reveals a real sensitivity towards a low perception to a group you identify with,and maybe not that positively.the fact that it never occurred to you that my family would be country folk,and instead just presumed my comment was a disdainful condemnation of "hicks" and therefore too stupid to be a scientist,
is very telling.
the second tell is the insulted patterns of speech you use,as if I had dared question your intelligence and abilities in regards to climate change.which I did no such thing,this is you projecting your own in-securities in the form of offense.
the third tell is you accusing me of arrogance for simply stating I will stick to listening to scientists,and then insult me for being mentally deficient.which again,is simply projecting your own insecurities
conclusion:i do not think you are a scientist.
but I DO,however,think this is a subject you have spent a great deal of time on and have something to say.i can respect that.
maybe next time don't jump into the deep end of presumption with no floaties on and,you know,be a human being and not so damn touchy.
I engage with a very simple rule set.
don't be shitty to me,and I won't be shitty to you.
disagreement is perfectly fine,even welcomed.
I tend not to speak on things I am not very well versed on,and will lean towards those who DO know for understanding.
because at the end of the day,that is all we are trying to do.
understand.
thanks for the replies mate.
stay awesome.
