    Unless you have direct evidence of that, you shouldn’t believe it.

    That’s a dangerous tack to take.

      Such is the consequence of living in a fact based reality as opposed to ones own delusions.

      You get to believe a whole lot less because there is actually very little we have evidence for.

      BUT!

      If we have evidence for it, we should believe it.

        Direct evidence is a much higher bar than indirect evidence. There’s a profusion of indirect evidence. Few of us have the capabilities to potentially find direct evidence. And even if we could, we would be expending far more effort researching than they would making new alt accounts.
