Neither have I. This is the only social media platform I use and I question why I use it. It only confirms my opinion that most people do not have the ability to do their own research and think critically in an unbiased way. People believe things with religious fervor despite all empirical evidence to the contrary. It's disheartening, but not unexpected. I found this to be true when I was an exec at a tech company running teams of data scientists. We routinely ran across this phenomenon of people ignoring obvious evidence in favor of their own biases. I've come to believe it is the human condition to be illogical and to choose their favored religion or ideology over science.
