    I just don’t get following false prophets.

    It’s literally the easiest fucking litmus test in the world.

    “How many things does this person say will come true that actually come true? How many don’t?”

    I just ran into this the other day with someone talking about Alex Jones talking about an attack on the world trade centers in 2000.

    A number of others also presented similar ideas before it happened, but more importantly - if you need to go back 20 goddamn years for an example of foresight for someone who makes wild predictions for hours every single day, that person isn’t a prophet.

    The stupidity of a lot of people is disappointing to the point of being demoralizing.
