You know there was a time not that long ago when the "experts opinion" was that earth we live in was flat. Diversity of thought and opinions are hallmarks of a thriving, modern society. Questioning the status quo has led to some incredible discoveries in history.

You don't know more than doctors and scientists. You're not Plato because you think vaccines are injecting 5G nuclear powered chips into your veins

Humans figured out the Earth was round over 2,000 years ago and calculated its circumference, and they weren't even off by much! Try again.

No there wasn't.

"Diversity of thought" is worthless without a shared way to validate those thoughts, and when one side rejects the validation methodology (science), then it won't lead to new discoveries.

Just because you have a thought doesn't mean it's valuable.
