We are in need of a official response to the healer situation

[Kabooa]

I'm honestly more responding to the "I think for myself and stick to mah convictions no matter what!" sentiment itself here. I find it poisonously anti-intellectual.

Anyone who says they think for themselves by actively ignoring outside sources of information really just means they cherry pick what outside information they choose to consider. Because no one actually does, or can, figure out the world from purely deductive reasoning (the enlightenment got that one wrong, along with the assumption people are rational actors by default). Nor can anyone on their own replicate the entire sum of mankind's empirical experimentation and learning from scratch within a single human lifetime.

Sure.

But this is a game.

I think bringing the scope of the entirety of humanity here and using it as some sort of argument for the game itself is equally flawed as using the logic of anti-vaxxers.
