    “your statistic is false because I have an anecdote” is literally the entire basis of the conservative understanding of science.

    union workers don’t make more on average because I earn half a dollar more.

    global warming isn’t happening because I brought a snowball.

    vaccines cause death because my friend walked out of a clinic after a shot and got hit by a self driving tesla.

      It really is a kind of solipsism, emotional immaturity as a self-justifying worldview. Problems don’t exist until they impact me personally, repeat and nauseam.

      Sounds like all conservatives are idiots or rather idiots are the ones who are politically conservative.
