Please understand I’m doing this good-naturedly and not trying to start a thing:
But then you did pull a Trolly on me. My fashion seems totally super normal but maybe you can explain to the class what’s so abnormal about the simple and direct question I asked, that you ignored?
or not, it’s fine, whatev, like I said i’m just goofing around
This is a good example of the Roganbro attitude imo. If you had asked all the guys in my men’s circle - I think most would approve of this tweet.
I follow a podcast called Desert Oracle by some techie-bro who cashed out his chips and lives in the CA desert. He’s generally pretty entertaining but he has this annoying habit of using “science” as a pejorative to lead into stuff like the story of LA stealing water.
It’s completely valid to bash everyone involved with that, and yes science has wreaked a lot of destruction if you cherry pick the failures and skullduggery. But it still has an infinitely better track record than anti-science.
Or he decries that men of science would pooh pooh the Dark Watchers and destroy everything that is good and mysterious in the world.
I can’t stand that attitude out of smart, otherwise non-brain-worm-infected people. You’re basically giving the morons a license to completely discount any scientific fact they don’t want to believe. There’s a way to attack all those things, and still talk about the Dark Watchers, w/o saying science in the same nasally condescending tone that country music songs use for California.
Like music and sports. They are supposed to bring joy, but they get divisive. Every corner of the globe, neighbors are rivals. Study history. Look around, it’s innate to what it means to be human. Doesn’t mean you can’t try. Just be a bit modest.
