    Have you considered that analysis of data, historical trends, and broader systems may be more accurate than gut feelings based on one person’s observations?

      Well, I feel that’s obvious. It’s also why you will never find me posting some ridiculous AI image laden meme in a community espousing my beliefs. The only reason you happen to know them is because you asked. I would never try to convince a group of people that what I believe is the One True Belief as I lack the ego for that. It’s just my take on what I see around me.

        Sure. You came here to express your voice, after all. However, I do think that it’s largely unproductive to speak loudly or definitively on matters you haven’t yet thoroughly investigated. Asking questions is one thing, but having beliefs based on nothing but passive observation individually seems a bit rocky.

        Perhaps leading with a question and sharing your current understanding would be a more productive way to frame a discussion?
