We log in and the notifications alight
Now we must click to the most ferocious of fights
There, on the screen, is the race to be right
A quick search on Google and the answer is there
Someone else chimes in, no time to be fair
Back and forth, citation and study
Don’t bother to read them, it’s just not necessary
But what data is truest, we must know for sure
An expert starts typing, some deep analysis
A claim and a contradiction,
Together they create so much friction
No, we assert, there’s no way I’m wrong
Search for the next study, the one that’s real long
It’s not enough, we need a few more
Now the stack is tall, high as the next floor
Present them as evidence, not just as truth
After all, we’ve never considered the issue prior to this
Something upset us, deep down inside
A hatred, for I can’t stand your kind
It’s not that I’m right, but that you must be wrong
Your possible concession is what drives me along
The studies are teetering now, they seem ready to fall
That might be what’s best for us all
