  It’s called healthy skepticism

  Skepticism is helpful when you’re actually making a decision and you decide you need more information.

  By preparing for all worst case outcomes

  Are you actually making any preparations or are you just throwing out cynical assertions based on bad vibes?

    If I had to make a decisions in this exact circumstance I sure as fuck wouldn’t write Natron a blank check for the state treasury. Yeah, I’m saying I want more information before I endorse this.

  So doomerism it is then…

  Immediately assuming that every potentially good thing that happens as a fraud, without evidence, is just paranoia.

  Saying that it is a fraud publicly, without evidence, is just disinformation.

  Believing things without evidence isn’t “healthy skepticism”, it’s just credulity. Don’t be a rube.
