The arrogance of ignorance

If people want to draw conclusions about a matter without doing any research that's fine, but for these same folks to slander those who have bothered to look into the matter seems a bit rich to me.

This is a common theme. People brainwashed by others they trust slamming those who don't share their view. As if they have any original knowledge to begin with. Just hand me downs from someone else's hand me downs, with barely a true fact between them.

If you go far enough up the chain to find where the original knowledge came from you tend to find it's largely nonsense spread by an unreliable source with a dog in the fight. This nonsense is then passed on by bought-out "experts" or journalists who then share it with the public, many of whom think they are so clever for believing the b.s. they are fed.
