Hi this was me, accidentally responded from another account (there’s a certain feature you can’t get on piefed so I switched back to lemmy for a second).
Mostly I was just making a joke (since you’re willing to call other people stupid I feel like it was fair game). You’re probably not actually stupid, but you do seem extremely arrogant.
Mostly I was just taking issue with lumping in the consciousness “mysticism” with flat Earth stuff. That’s something you would only say if you didn’t understand the topic at hand. If you want to check out the discussion we’re having on this topic in this thread, you’re welcome to (here’s the start of the thread; click here if you want to cut to the chase of why there’s actually more to it then you think). If you want to explain why you think this stuff is stupid, or just join the discussion, then you’re welcome to join us in that thread.
I might pop over and check out the discussion. I added it to the list because I frequently see people in my family prefer “mystical” explanations of pretty direct scientific phenomena and it makes me nuts. I won’t yuck your yum if you think ghosts exist or you want to measure the strength of your consciousness because you’ve been reincarnated or something, but maybe we don’t use that as argument against vaccines and general health, you know? Someone also explained to me I my town how he was pretty sure climate change was a hoax and the earth has just been “knocked off it’s axis”. That’s not mysticism, but it’s the kind of stupid that speaks to why I included it.
And of course theres no question I’m an elitist lol. It’s an easy reservoir of perspective to draw from if you want something controversial.

Yeah I guess I can’t complain too much since I did ask for it with the title of this post
