You did look at the pictures TheTruthIsOnHere referenced? They are certainly not of " tons of people uploading their personal photos of these specks of light" as he seems to hint! As far as I can see most are just "artist's impressions", and say so!
So, I really don't know what on earth you are talking about! And, I doubt the you know either.
It was sarcasm. I was taking something you obviously consider to be some kind of widespread phenomenon of people locating, looking at, and photographic specks of light, and showing that it isn't nearly as common as you think. I'm sure I could go to satellite watching specific forums, that have about 6 active members to learn more about these specks of light, but an overwhelming majority of people just take it for granted that they exist and can be seen.
That's the kind of blind trust I can't fathom. Most people are just willing to accept whatever is told to them without doing the research or having the first hand experience to verify it. Not that I haven't been guilty of that in the past.
It's kind of like... let me phrase this analogy right: It's kind of like being in one of your first major relationships, and finding out your partner has been unfaithful. Does that automatically mean that your next partner will do the same? No. But it does mean you will use an abundance of caution and be more critical of the cues of your new partner. You could also have a new level of distrust, depending how hard you believed and were committed and then crushed by the previous relationship. Whether or not every partner you have from then on will cheat on you isn't certain, but you could never take for granted a persons commitment the same again.
That's how I look at a lot of mainstream information that is disseminated. I want to trust it. I would love to live in a world where no one ever lied to me. I would love to be able to trust fully that those who have their own agenda, motivations, and biases would somehow always have the greater good in mind. But once you discover a major lie it's easier go down the rabbit hole and find many other inconsistencies from that point forward. It's a gift and a curse, really.
