  • and just like any other excuse, aren’t we beholden to call it out for the benefit of all?

    instead, like capitalism, we seem to shrug and say “that’s just how humans are lol” while we go back to killing each other over money or made up stories from 2000 years ago.

    just like in therapy/recovery/etc, don’t we have to acknowledge(and i mean actually reflect on) the problem (organised religion, in this case) before anything gets better?


  • it’s cinema sins but with the “he’s an astrophysicist so he must know what he’s talking about”

    when an otherwise smart guy spends his time nitpicking…movies?…he comes across as the friend you wouldn’t want to go to the movies with, no?

    you can argue that the hate might be “over the top” (and i tend to agree), but that mfer comes across as straight insufferable - in that if i had a choice i wouldn’t want to be around him - so i can empathise.

    edit: i’m sure there’s more, but i’m struggling to come up with any other scientist who spends their time saying “haha that ben affleck movie about oil drillers isn’t scientifically accurate!?!?” instead of, you know, positively impacting/selling their field of study.
