Even a simpleton
Have you ever been somewhere that the only thing to read was a single newspaper?
And you were there for a few days, so you read the paper over and again.
You got to know its stories. You worked your way into the stories you would not have initially dug into.
I think that has happened to me at least a few times:
1.) out in the woods in a cabin,
2.) on a road trip,
3.) on a trip to Cuba, and
4.) on a long haul Amtrak train.
If you read the same paper a few times over the course of a few days, you start to know the stories and the order and you know what to expect.
Newspapers are meant to be written in such a simple way that even an idiot can read it and make sense of it.
Some pastor, once upon a time, was in such a situation — up in a cabin in the woods. He had only a newspaper. It was his habit to read the paper over coffee and again in the afternoon. Though he had only one paper, he maintained his habit and read that thing. He read the thing over and again during his week in this cabin. He started to memorize the stories. He did this without even intending to. If you read newspaper stories a few times, it just becomes impossible not to really get to know the articles.
“If I became so comfortable with the newspaper by reading it in this way, what would happen if I read the Bible this way?” he wondered.
“How long does that take?” you might wonder.
5,500 hours to read the Bible?
550 hours to read the Bible?
55 hours to read the Bible?
Believe it or not, the Bible only takes about 55 hours to read, front to back.
It can be read in a month with two hours a day of effort.
That Pastor read the Bible over the course of the next month. And again the next month. And he repeated that behavior a third month in a row. Just as he had suspected, just like his reading of the newspaper, his reading of the Bible really worked itself into him.
Realizing that, he continued to read the Bible every month for many years.
Two hours a day and you can read the Bible this month. An hour a day and you can read the Bible these next two months. Fifteen minutes a day and you can, starting today, read the Bible over the course of a year.
The Bible is as reachable to you as the newspaper. It simply takes a will to say, “I will read this.”
With that will, it becomes accessible to you. It is very much reachable.
For centuries, it was impossible for virtually anyone to access the Bible. The clergy were meant to be the only way to access the Bible. Technology changed that. And one day in the 1500s, the Bible became much more accessible.
Now you can find a King James Bible at the nearest dollar store and a Gideon’s Bible in practically every hotel room.
Similarly reachable and accessible as the newspaper, similarly reachable and accessible as the Bible, is reachable and accessible science.
You do not need a cleric of the religion of scientism to access scientific truths for yourself.
The face mask science is reachable. It is readable. It is knowable. I give you headlines and make it simple. You don’t need me to understand it. You don’t need anyone to understand it. All you need is access to the science. I put that science right there in front of you.
You do not need a book like Face Masks Hurt Kids to access the very accessible science. It just makes it easier to have so much of that science all in one spot. It makes it easier for it to come in a skimmable form with index and clear headlines. And it doesn’t take 55 hours, either. With 20 minutes of work, you can access everything you need to produce powerful arguments against face masks.
It is so easy that even an idiot can read it.
“Then why does your doctor not know the science around face masks?” you may ask. Why does your doctor not know the science around face masks, which shows the face mask is clearly neither safe nor effective to wear?
Well, again, we return to a question of will.
He who has no such will, chooses to make such thinking inaccessible to himself.
