    Just use your own brain and eyeballs.

    We’re going to need something a bit more robust than that I’m afraid. People who fall for conspiracy after conspiracy are using their own brain and eyeballs. Even schizophrenics use their own brain and eyeballs.

    If someone’s childhood photos show snow-free Christmases, is that enough for them to declare climate change a hoax?

    People need to understand the scientific method better. What a hypothesis is, the importance of falsifiability. There is no truth in the universe, you can’t determine what is true and what is false by looking inside yourself, or by trusting your gut. There is no truth. That is the universe we live in.
