I mean, would you call me a close-minded cunt for saying, "Man, believing in unicorns is kinda dumb." just because there might be someone out there who believes in unicorns?

except that not everything is tangible.
in fact, science is currently coming to the conclusion that nothing is.
the material world is an illusion and chronological time a human invention.
science has evolved, some people have not.
and yes, people got into shit for saying the earth wasn't flat or we weren't the centre of the universe.
it's a mistake to think that our current idea of science is completely separated from religious, political, and cultural conditioning.
