I’m allowed to think someone is wrong and misinformed. Wiccan shit is snake oil salesman. The people are into it are the same people who buy essential oils.
You're allowed to do whatever you want I'm words on the internet not a cop (more on that later). I have an elderly neighbor who does crystal and faith healing stuff, and has offered to do it to me a few times. I don't have any reason to believe it works, but I politely accept because it's more important for me not feel like a raging asshole than it is share with everyone just how I think the world works.
Half of the wiccans of which I know a shit ton from being in the rave scene I know aren’t. Are pro essential oil pro faith healing. My anecdotal evidence has as much validity as yours. It’s not a stereotype I literally interact with these people constantly. It’s not sexist to point out wiccans are anti science. You are just a Mayo looking for oppression points when you aren’t marginalized at all. I know over 20 of these people. It’s not a small sample size
Coming from a scientist; read Kuhn and Feyerabend and don't pin your worldview on this notion of science as some impartial arbiter of truth. We're normal people just like everyone else.
This is condescending as shit. I have a neuroscience degree. I am a scientist too. I never said it was impartial I said it’s actual evidence of which wiccanism has none
Your making the same argument that fundamentalists use for anti vaccination. Just because there is always going to be bias doesn’t mean scientifically proven things are equally valid to things with no scientific evidence. I like how your earlier post condescendingly assumes I’m not a scientist and then states thingy veiled reactionary anti intellectualism. Science is biased as fuck. I never said it wasn’t. But there are actual ways to show something is true scientifically using the scientific method. That is until it’s disproven. Which most things are. However until that point of where it’s disproven you can’t just shake it off and away by saying since everything is biased you can’t assume anything scientifically that is proven is inherently true
That's the wonderful thing about it! Because I've actually treated her like a person as opposed to a rube to be corrected, she'll actually come by and run medical decisions by me. She asked me if she should get a covid vaccine and we decided that she was going to ask her doctor and commit to whatever he says.

Problem is those people are the same people who don’t vaccinate their kids and are anti hospitals blood transfusions etc. it’s harmful 😜

This isn't actually how things work.

Hey chapos, I found Ben Carson's ghost!
