Sokay broskie, I'm not gonna jump down your throat. I'm actually glad someone sees where I'm coming from with it

*last two sentences.

That's like the worst list I've ever seen to prove a point. Most of them are wives' tales or things you'd hear on the playground of an elementary school.

And number 9 can be empirically proven wrong:

Dude literally all 25 of those are common saying and public "knowledge", not science. Science is based on the scientific method and peer reviewed reports and journals.

Exactly what I've seen trying to have this conversation with people. ( mind you I live in a predominantly christian area) a lot of my peers have a major distrust for things that they don't fully understand, which, happens to be anything outside of country living and country cures. I can see where they come from though, of all the ear drops I've tried nothing has worked better than sweet oil for ear pain, and for getting a splinter out drawing salve is top notch. But, those two examples are where it basically ends ( maybe a few more that works pretty well) but these people think you can cure a viral infection with a few drops of witch hazel.

To be honest, I do understand the logic behind the anti-vax community, but it is flawed logic.
I was discussing this subject with a few of my friends and our conclusion is that essentially, the antivax movement is fundamentally based on the idea that the scientific community cannot be right on everything. I disagree with this idea because what I study is well embedded in the scientific community and I understand the community as a whole, but to people on the outside of the scientific community, it must be confusing. To people who have little to no understanding of science and the scientific community, science appears as some huge overwhelmingly powerful entity that dictates so many aspects of our lives. It's like a huge corporation of knowledge, and fundamentally people like the anti-vaxxers cannot believe that science is right on everything. Whereas, as someone in the scientific community, I understand that science is ultimately just a loose group bound by the scientific method. So i think that the antivax community stems from the mistrust of science, and the belief that it is some entity that serves its own interests.

I mean that's kinda exactly what I said, but I do not disagree man/lady.

-_- Sorry man I honestly didn't read the last sentence, my bad

But Anakin Skywalker WAS arguably the most powerful force-user to ever live, or at least the most powerful in his generation at the time.

It was literally part of his prophecy and destiny to be stronger than anyone, plus he already had an innate connection to the Force via being made through it, and even still he had trained for a long time to be able to operate swoop pods and pilot properly.

All in all, we're still talking about space-wizards here so anything is possible, but you're absolutely right in saying she's just too OP to even be on the same level of everyone else around her, and so far she's the only major character which DOESN'T have any sort of flaw or even opportunity for growth.

I disagree, she still has plenty of opportunity for growth. Kylo was an easy fight, he'd already been severely wounded by a caster bolt to his side (you saw how powerful hat fucking thing was, it sent TR-8R flying like 8 feet) as well as having been wounded however slightly by Finn. Add to that the fact that she was already effective in close combat, albiet not with a lightsaber (you saw how clunky her fighting style was, considering she'd used a staff up to that point) and that presumably she had some sort of minor innate understanding of the force given her ability to make use of the jedi mind trick (a Stormtrooper not expecting her to be force sensitive would have no reason to strengthen his will, nor would he even understand what the force was so I assume that her tricking him was pretty easy.) and being able to summon the saber to her (another simple feat, Luke was able to do it in Empire while seriously wounded, and with little to no prior training in manipulating the force, only in minor saber combat). She has lot's of training to undergo in jedi ways and thought, as evidenced by her initial obstinate refusal to even take Luke's saber with her. She still has much to learn about herself as well, since she's spent most of her life living for some future point that will never happen.

Even Big White and Silver Star are like this. Fucken' guys.

My roommate two years back was on that program
