Lots of great ones here again, Bernie

I particularly enjoyed this one giving us some 'scientific philosophy' from Thunderbolts: https://www.thunderbolts.info/wp/2018/04/02/the-true-disbeliever-4/
The part that makes me laugh out loud is turning on its head "I'll believe it when I see it": to "I'll see it when I believe it" which is a view well supported by scientific evidence and often forgotten.

I am also reminded of the phrase (often used almost like an epithet; or at least with a desperate scorn):"False hope" which I have recently heard turned on its head to point out that "False despair" also exists; in order to make the point that one can be as much of a barrier as the other.
