Hi, didn’t see your post untill now because I really don’t frequent the forums here.
I kind of agree with that, but overall people are for sure more open minded (based on my extremely limited research on science in this time period ish). I think one of the main issues as to why people have a hard time accepting new beliefs now is because schooling in general doesn’t tend to explain enough that science and our understanding is always changing. Theres also the fact that corporations will bury research with doubts if it affects their profit margin (I.e, grains causing obesity, leaded gasoline, cigarettes etc)
