I would like to say I agree but there is something that needs to be said about it as well.
Many on here would all agree that 1+1 = 2, this is not because we have a herd mentality or a consensus type of thought process but because it is a known fact that 1 = a single thing, 2 = double that thing that was single (a pair), and so one thing with another of that thing is double that original thing.
This seems obvious and it should be, there are facts and truth that exist in this reality, and most people agree on those facts because reality dictates them and not consensus. A biological man cannot be a biological woman.
There are some on here that question the very reality itself. It's fine to question it. What I don't enjoy seeing is when the above video's logic and theory are applied to those that want to represent established facts of reality but are labeled NPCs.
For example, I enjoy debating Flat-Earthers. When logically cornered and called out for straw-manning out of corners they tend to shoot out a similar theory that I only believe what I am told and don't experiment for myself. This is of course ad hominem and shouldn't even be asserted.

Side-note re: flat-earthers.

I just wish somebody would point me to an overview source for the topic that isn't comically ignorant of basic technology. I like exploring wild ideas—it expands my thinking and that's fun.

But it's tough to explore when the first evidence presented is someone taking a jpeg from NASA's webside, upping the levels in Photoshop, then declaring the inevitably revealed jpeg lossy-encoding artifacts to be mic-drop evidence of data manipulation and therefore everything is faked. Like, what? Spin a better yarn, please!

Anyway, side rant aside; back to the topic!

I agree that the ability to engage with “crazy” Ideas or theories can be engaging.

It’s strange that so many think even examining an idea...picking it up, trying it on, dismissing it or putting it down again...we’ll that means you’re RAYCIST or A BIGOT!!!!

It’s like...when did we get so squeamish about talking about ideas and theories? Perhaps just a degradation in critical thinking overall? It’s as if talking or thinking about something verboten is akin to contamination.

In a way it is though! Lol.

We can listen to and engage in an idea without believing in it.
