    Well that is the very pinnacle of discourse my friend. Thank you very much for being intelligent enough to do it and brave enough to say it. I like to think I do the same when I encounter a sound argument. Are you a scientist by any chance?

    Edit to add:

      No, and I am barely intelligent enough to recognize that I’m stupid.

        Nope. The ability to change your thinking on a topic as emotive as this is rare in my experience, and a sign of intelligence in my opinion. As is realising you’re stupid. The vast majority of true idiots don’t.
