You climb into a giant craft that complete strangers operate, and maybe you try to verify that they're going the right way or maybe you just sleep through it, but if you do you either do it by watching stars in the manner taught to you or you do it using a compass, you use mathematics that were taught to you by people who's main concern is how to stretch their paychecks across the month.

You rely on the same reputation-focused and survival-focused society that allows religion to exist in the first place, maybe you're an atheist or maybe you just believe that people twist the intent of your god or gods sometimes, but either way you're getting the vast majority of your knowledge from official stories, heresay, and whatever individuals happen to have adopted or birthed you, and you have the audacity to think that, this time, unlike all those other times in the past, this time you've got it right.

You're an optimist, and that's about the biggest insult that has been exchanged this entire conversation.

"But I guess that’s a no to the question about reverse picture search—"

Reverse image search is like most modern technology, they demo it by picking an image that they've already pre-selected, them when they release it everyone's desperate to prove that they're smart enough to use it correctly that they'll spend days scrolling through crap after inputting their image or just lie about it.

Of course nobody admits that it's a giant fraud, not even themselves, especially since the actual fraudsters are long-dead heroes.
