Questioning acknowledged truths isn't always denial. Science moves forward by constantly challenging established facts. It allows us to have a more detailed and solid understanding of phenomena. Climate change deniers are generally uninformed (to put it mildly), but I'm tired of people who get triggered by any question about climate change data. Information is power y'all!

Also social media algorithms are designed to make you dependent, the same way cigarettes are designed to be "nicotine delivery devices" to hook you up.

Social media. Algorithms designed to make you dependent are highly toxic from a psychological perspective and it makes it really easy to spread propaganda and create social dissent. I hope there will be laws controlling it in 50 years, the same way there are laws now against tobacco.
