It depends on the type of truth. People really battle over what they see as political truths. Everyone has the attitude - “But this is the truth!” I think that in that sort of thing there are many logical fallacies made by everybody.

prolly anyone that realizes that pretty much everything the psychiatrist tells you not to take is good for you because why else would they tell you not to do it?

If apes are so great why haven’t they enslaved us yet? :monkey_face: :chains:

In all seriousness I believe what separates us from apes isn’t just hair or language, but also the evolution of the pre-frontal cortex which allows us to override instincts and make informed decisions based on our ability to consider the past, present, and future in a way that no animal can.
