Are people retarded?
? These people are stupid!
I live in a very lefty area and lately tons of handwringing on social media about “how will we know who is vaccinated?” The person asking this is always presumably vaccinated.
Do they not understand that them being VACCINATED means that they are VAC-CIN-ATED? I.e. the point of the VACCINE is to protect you against the VIRUS. So why do you give a shit if someone else has it - you are VACCINATED & PROTECTED (other controversies aside).
I think these are some of the stupidest people I have ever encountered. Boggles the mind.
We need an Enlightenment 2.0. Where are the modern Newton, Da Vinci, Michelangelo?
They can't get any funding.
(I say that half jokingly but I do believe it contributes to a lot of the issues in the politicalizatiion of science. )
We have scientism now. The belief in science. Einstein was right and we'll do everything we can to prove it because he's the god of science. What's that? He wrote in his own journals that he's not as smart as people think he is and that he hopes he's never treated like a deity after he's dead? Oh don't believe EINSTEIN, because we're busy believing in EINSTEIN!
What we need for science is a time machine (invented by EINSTEIN in the game Red Alert 2!) so we can bring Einstein to 2021 and tell people to knock this shit off.
The man himself would probably say "what's wrong with you people? You're operating on theories that are 70+ years old!!!"
Real science remembers those who contributed but has no qualms about moving on.
I love it when religious missionaries ask me "do you believe in God or do you believe in science?".
Uh.. the entire point of science is complete lack of faith and belief. I guess you believe in the process, but there's no faith involved since everything is based on what you can see touch and feel and what you can record, document, and repeat.
None of that stops you from believing in God, you simply can't use the scientific method to record the operations of God.
Are people retarded? Yeah, a lof of them are. Start looking up average IQ's around the world. If you're daring, look it up by race. Just remember that they're AVERAGES and every group will have people on the high and low ends before you get mad at the numbers.
