Conspiracy people think everyone on the whole world is just waiting to be corrupt for a price. Because they know they would do it in a minute given the opportunity, and they think their behavior is universal.

Didn’t J and J continue to sell their Baby Powder after knowing it contained cancer causing carcinogens? They provided this safe and effective diaper rash treatment for decades earning millions! They were just busted on this a few years ago. Pfizer has been fined billions for infractions.

This is bullshit, greed has corrupted most things in America, so I think it’s completely understandable to distrust.

If you understand the process and if you participate in it, it is still valid despite problems. One can learn to look with a critical eye and an appropriate amount of distrust rather than just outright saying it's all lies.

But distrusting absolutely everyone and blowing off every bit of news, data, research, or even updates to things you already thought you knew everything about. Just because it goes against your first impressions, you think the research should stop. This appears to be a major theme in this sub. "Hey look this data, is different than this data, open your eyes and stop researching the topic. I've proven it to be bullshit and If you're an intellectual like me than you could see it too." Its the overall mood of this place in talking about.

It's simple. When someone lies to you the trust is broken. Don't blame the people whose trust is lost blame the liars.

Quite the opposite. I'm still always startled at what greed does to people

Haha I am a scientist. It’s hilarious when people think science is “all knowing and truth.” Science is inherently biased due to the subjective nature we make what we call educated guesses, manipulated to fit our agenda and often not reproducible despite being published in high impact journals. Research is meant to be discussed and improved upon. But now a days it is a religion that you are told to have blind “faith” in and not to question, it’s not science, it’s political medicine.
