@jetblake, I have also gone through the same journey but I am convinced you are a few miles ahead of me. Without knowing you wrote this post I wrote one that is kind of the same explaining how we are blinded by bullshit that people call 'science'.
The very word science is sacred. If someone says: that science concluded. Then it must be true especially if it was peer reviewed! Owwwww then my sun! Then it is the holy grail of truth.
But that is bullshit! People lie and they deceive and when there is big money involved nothing is to far fetched! I like your post @jetblake. Hopefully people start waking up a bit.
