This makes me uncomfortable as a Pisces.
This is hell for anyone.
Reminds me of home
You know I’ll never read those.

having to respect and accept a different perspectibe really is hell for a scientist
It sounds like the problem is you don't know what science is. Most people who are spout comments like that are doing so because they fundamentally have failed to understand its purpose.
Science isn't about feelings or stories it's about provable fact. It's about going in and explaining the basic fundamental level how how a particular phenomenon works.
Science can explain at a molecular level how an antibiotic works, it can explain the atom by atom interactions. Can a crystal healer explain how a lump of quartz is supposed to help?
having to talk to someone who can't explain at a molecular level how an antibiotic works sounds like the worst torture imaginable, to a scientist
i too enjoy defending things used to scam vulnerable people out of their life savings
Found the pisces
guilty!
All of those practices were once considered "science". Eventually, the scientific method proved them all wrong and they stopped being taken seriously. Until Americans became super spiritual in the 1950s and those practices were brought back as basically pseudo religions.
A scientist having to spend time with a whole bunch of people who believe in debunked junk science from the medieval period does sound like hell.
