You: You've probably only skimmed a few articles.

Me: I read their media frequently and in-depth.

You: No, what I meant was the theory of the mind....

Me: Sure, pal.

It's funny because you write as if you can read people's minds, but you're playing it off as if it's me who's being ridiculous.

Examples of mind reading:

- Not being facetious at all, but [that heuristic doesn’t work] for anti-maskers.

- [the information they have] is widely viewable on Trump’s Twitter feed and Newsmax.

- [I know what they know] and I still have trouble understanding how they can [think the way they do].

The amount of people who seem to have this self-perception is starting to look like a fairly substantial percentage of the userbase here. Will be interesting to see if this changes in 2021.
