The rarest mental illness in modern society: believing that evidence actually matters in an argument. Ever tried showing a flat-earther a photo from space? Or explaining climate change to your uncle at Thanksgiving? Facts bounce off some people's brains like quantum particles hitting an impenetrable field of confirmation bias. The true scientific method involves collecting data, analyzing results, and then watching helplessly as someone dismisses your peer-reviewed research because "they did their own research" (i.e., watched a YouTube video at 2 AM). The real experiment is seeing how many times you can bang your head against this particular wall before you develop an actual mental condition.
