Thank you. Very clear now.
Psychologist here. It just so much appears that truth and falsity are not what he's interested in. At all. What he intuits might benefit him or profit him and/or might hurt others who he has animosity towards — that's what he goes with.

The plastic inside us: how microplastics may be reshaping our bodies and minds
The plastic inside us: how microplastics may be reshaping our bodies and minds
The particles are in our blood, brains and guts – and scientists are only beginning to learn what they do
Microplastics have been found almost everywhere: in blood, placentas, lungs – even the human brain. One study estimated our cerebral organs alone may contain 5g of the stuff, or roughly a teaspoon. If true, plastic isn’t just wrapped around our food or woven into our clothes: it is lodged deep inside us.
Now, researchers suspect these particles may also be meddling with our gut microbes. When Dr Christian Pacher-Deutsch at the University of Graz in Austria exposed gut bacteria from five healthy volunteers to five common microplastics, the bacterial populations shifted – along with the chemicals they produced. Some of these changes mirrored patterns linked to depression and colorectal cancer. Continue reading...

Oh, look! The former Florida AG who never prosecuted Jeffrey Epstein, one of history's most notorious human traffickers, and is currently protecting him and his pedophile clients, is speaking at a conference [checks notes] against human trafficking.

It's funny how when you see a masterful garden you often see that it's an elderly person who gardens it. Which on the surface leads people to think that old people simply like puttering around the garden.
But when you look deeper you realize it's because they took a lifetime to grow it. 🌱
