    i always look for contradicting things. i choose the one with as few contradictions as possible, thats the best model. as far as evicence goes:

    I dont really know the earth is round, because i can’t experience that. it could also be flat. i am not an astronaut, or a pilot, or a shipfaring guy.

    so one guy says to me the earth is round. one guy says to me the earth is flat. How do i choose in what to believe?

    I choose the modell that reopresants best what i see in real life with my own eyes, and thas has the best fitting internal logik, with so few contradictions as possible.

    so I rule out flat earth, because i have seen ships descent behind the horizon at sea, with my own eys. so that makles sense to me.

    as far as jordan peterson goes: he is a phylosopher and psyschiatrist. of course you think he is full of shit when the things he says hurt your ego. that is totally subjective.

    andrew huberman: you would be shocked how many nutrionists, keto guys, vegan guys and so on are right on the surface, but wrong in the details. you would be shocked if you would know about the quality of certain studies.

    for example: the reason alcohol gives you energy is that you partly metabolize it into acetate acid, and your cell can take that and make energy from it. its impossible to get fat from alcohol.

    yet nobody mentions that. so calories in calories out doesnt work for pure alcohol, since what your cells cant burn, you breath out again.

    so thats biochemistry, biochemistry doesnt lie.

    if somebody says something wrong about acetate metaqbolism, i rule the guy out, because it contradicts biochemistry.

    so thats my method.
