    Yes, I’ve gradually become aware of that. You make a good point. It famously tends to kill cats.

    I managed to avoid a lot of that, somehow, fortunately. I know my path isn’t everyone else’s and I certainly wouldn’t wish mine on anyone. I dumped Kent Hovind and Ken Hamm and went straight to people like Carl Sagan and Mr Rogers, and made a bunch of leftist and gay friends I’d always been warned to avoid. I never understood the appeal of Jordan Peterson and his ilk.

    Actually, I did still get hooked by Graham Hancock for a few weeks a while back. But I’m guarded against grandiose claims and quickly checked out his critics. Lesson learned. I may be vaccinated, but I’m not immune.
