Why learn science?
Because lots of things can seem like a big scary conspiracy theory when you don’t understand how the world works!
Empower yourself by learning about facts and evidence and reality. As a bonus, it’ll lead to a healthier and more prosperous society for others around you.

And then suddenly you find the most important question ever asked in an 17th century book.

I’m going to need everyone who’s reporting on AI psychosis and how it’s making people, especially men, come up with theories of everything to please talk with the scientists who have been getting multiple emails from “theory of everything” guys for decades

Just like the Germans did with the Berlin Wall. Hand out sledgehammers and let the people express how they feel about Trump’s monuments to himself.
It's not enough to just take this shit down in 2.5 years. We've gotta desecrate it. Flip it over and turn it into a halfpipe. Make the sides of it a dog park so something can piss and shit on it. It's the only way out of this.
President AOC, I will make this happen free of charge.

Just talked with a student reporter about what the atmosphere was like on campus on 9/11... he finds it interesting and is doing a story on it because HE WASN'T BORN YET.
