Why do you trust a random internet person (Q) that posted on an anonymous message board?
This may seem like a silly question, but as someone that grew up on the internet, it was always common knowledge that every message board / chat room was full of trolls, liars, bad faith actors, sociopaths, and master manipulators.
Remember the saying, “never trust anything you read on the internet”? It’s because the internet is full of bullshit artists.
Q is literally asking us to stop taking the world at face value and figure it ourselves.
This is not new information though, the whole idea of questioning authority and questioning the world around you has been taught in schools for decades. I learned these ideas during my freshman year of college.
So now I will ask again, why do you trust a random internet person that posted on an anonymous message board?

I’m aware of baking ideas, etc..
I’m saying to question the very, very beginning. The original Q posts that started everything.
Why do you trust those initial posts at face value?
