That policy does make a lot of sense, too. I’m a flat earth agnostic, but love pushing peoples buttons on it because epistemology is really neat, and a lot of people think they “know” a lot more than they actually know.
For a while, I’d push people on how they know the Earth isn’t flat, thinking it a very inert topic, as it doesn’t affect a single one of us in any single way in our daily lives. It became very apparent very quickly that this is absolutely not the case. People will get as defensive, and sometimes moreso on flat earth than even on abortion. Credibility gets destroyed real quick with it. People get extremely irate with it real quick.
It’s a very interesting thing, considering how irrelevant it pragmatically is, but if it’s something that we should engage with, it’s far, far deeper down the rabbit hole. Gonna be fun if/when we get there, though.
It’s a wise decision to not discuss it right now. I don’t get the chemtrails the same way, as I’ve heard people on all sides of the aisle noticing this one, but I try to be humble enough to admit that maybe I’ve got a blind spot, here.
“Gnosis” means “to know”. “Belief” is a different thing. My opinion is that it is perfectly well possible to believe a thing without knowing it. I also never said what I believed, and don’t intend to as it’s against the policy. :-)
1 Corinthians 2:2 - For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
Anyhow I was just trying to complement and support you guys on the call.

And that was four paragraphs to say, “good call!”

Together frogs strong.
Thanks fren.
It's a real wrench to tell people not to discuss certain topics for strategic reasons. We'll get to it in time I'm sure.
