      Thanks, and thanks for letting me know. I’ll have to let that person know that, as much as I normally take their word on stuff because they have a lot of common sense and keep up on reputable news sources, this particular “fact” was a blatant lie and whatever news source they got it from needs to be vetted more thoroughly.

        Honestly it’s cool. Personally I try to be very objective, scientific, and factual about stuff, but I’ve 100% been wrong about things in the past. I think the measure of a person is their ability to admit a mistake in the face of irrefutable evidence against their POV.

        Also non scientific bodies have been chiming in to promote the theory. With the whole anti-China thing going on, it’s gotten a lot more traction that it should have. If the superstructure wants this idea to become mainstream, it can and did.
