They think scientific advancements are always made by a single person and occur in a vacuum. They learn that Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone and equate that to Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, but the way they see it Bells science is self evident because well phones work so his science must be right. With more abstract discoveries that don’t produce an object in the physical world they believe they can deny all day.

It’s really fucking stupid

Good deal Lucile, good thinkin Abe Lincoln

This guy gets how myths form

I appreciate it, I think I just wanted to put it out there that it can manifest in multiple ways. But it does feel good to not be alone

I don’t think Bungie was making an assessment of the Chinese or anyone else with this detail, but in the Halo series the leader race of the alien religious collective called The Covenant initially achieved their power by reverse engineering and then utilizing the technology of an ancient galaxy conquering civilization. The human species, which based on the time period likely is very analogous to the US military, found that to be a big weakness because once they acquired some of the tech they were able to use it to improve on their own tools and weapons, but the Covenant never did because the ancient aliens were viewed as gods by them.

Not sure if i had a point but I thought it was a fun connection

I do agree that social media is a huge driver of our societal problems and not fixing them, but I think you have the order reversed, social media is extremely effective at transmitting short, easy answers to our problems because that’s what people gravitate to on the whole. Especially extremely scared and desperate people, and young people especially see a lot of reasons to be afraid about what the future is going to look like.

We haven’t even really gotten to ecoFascism yet, but I think it’s inevitable to rise as things continue marching forward without dramatic societal changes

Everybody…

Becuase then she’d be irrelevant in her own eyes and that’s not acceptable to her

That’s because that’s the part of Georgia closest to Alabama, and we don’t like including them

We’d fill all the streets within a fortnight

This is me, I can’t buy rolls anymore, I will eat the all within an hour and be exceeding upset but the blue to green ratio

The Gap gets a lot of hate in my experience but I don’t give a fuck because all their clothes are comfy and fit my frame perfectly

I still haven’t gotten over the loss of the original Mr Pibb flavor

The best possible scenario right now is that he croaks of a heart attack before he names a VP, then the GOP will rip itself apart trying to pick a leader. I’m not too hopeful about it at this point though
