I note that you picked two hard sciences as markers of respect, "neuroscientists and microbiologists", not social sciences.
Secondly my point I'm trying to make, is that these aren't "intelligent discussions" nor "serious discussion".
Shunning swathes of social science, often treating their conclusions as either illegitimate ( if they go counter to their preferred narrative ), or as obvious ( if they aren't ).
It's demeaning to "just ask questions" as if they hadn't been considered by the experts of the field.
I apologize for the rudeness, but did you even read my comment? I did not say a word about the social sciences. My comment was purely in reply to your accusation of ignorance.
