It's really hard to look into FE due to the toxic attitudes and bombastic assertions made by many FE's. I'm 100% supportive of questioning everything, but making claims as if they were fact and ridiculing anyone who questions it does not lead to constructive research. The name-calling is so juvenile that it is hard to take either side seriously.
There are exceptions to this toxic behavior, but it's rare. It seems like the same cult-like behavior that afflicts covidians has also taken hold of many FE's. They saw their YouTube teachers talk shit about everyone, so they do the same.
They have some great questions, and even some great evidence. They need to remember that what they are working with is a theory, and it is okay to be wrong about something and go back to the drawing board.
