We live in a post-truth era, with confidently-incorrect people all around. Too many people without a care for reason, facts, and how reality works have ideas that are able to gain traction in public.

Look at anti-vaxxers. Look at flat-earthers. Look at Trump winning a second time.

Although I pegged this post as sarcasm at the start (the guy’s job title gives it away), I’ve heard equally ridiculous statements from real people before. Sadly, I can’t fault people for assuming honest stupidity if that’s what they’re accustomed to encountering.
