[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9576401, member: 18"] No. You literally don't understand what a scientific journal is. It's not reporting in the same sense at all. It's a vehicle for publishing research papers. You're confused as hell. Again, you literally do not know what a scientific journal is, and you're proving that by saying this. You are making an incredible [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_mistake']category error[/URL]. You are not remotely in a position to talk down to anyone about journalism, let alone to try and lecture people about it, as you've shown with this post. You need to go and seriously rethink your entire position, and also learn about scientific journals and what they are, because you're clearly not familiar with them. GenX are the Joe Rogan generation, they are absolutely the most second-most gullible generation after Boomers, if you insist we must generalize in that fashion. I accept that there's cynicism towards the reporting media in GenX, there has been since the mid-1980s, it's obvious in GenX-created films/movies/TV/graphic novels. But the cynicism rapidly turned into conspiratorial thinking and open-minded-ness turned into believing nonsense because it wasn't labelled as "mainstream" (even though the sources very often are "mainstream" and corporate, just risibly claiming to be "alternative"). GenX are Generation Ivermectin, for god's sake. This appeal to birth-year-authority is not as compelling as you think. Here are you free thinking GenX brothers in true superbrain action: [URL='https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14351625/Elon-Musk-backs-mission-Mars-square-structure-Joe-Rogan.html']Elon Musk backs mission to Mars to investigate 'square structure'[/URL] (Apologies to everyone for linking the Mail) (Also, other GenXers, I'm sorry, I know most of you are reasonable, but you don't go "IM SMART BECAUSE IM GENX UNLIKE YOU MILLENNIAL DUMMIES".)
