Have a super awesome day!

Any sufficiently advanced stupidity is indistinguishable from malice.

The problem I see is actually not from the side of the conspiracy theorists. It is actually from our side, from the side of science. Very often it is difficult not to look down. My friend said, "You know, sometimes the only way to change somebody's mind is to shame them." And I say, I don't think that is the last resort, ever. This is the same as saying that if a kid doesn't get a particular subject, it's not your fault as their teacher, it is their fault. I do not believe that. It's just that you haven't developed your empathy to be able to see from their point of view where they're getting stuck.

In Dave I sorta saw a man projecting his own shame and using the mythology of Trump and of these political movements and conspiracies to assign meaning to a broken life. To jump down the conspiracy rabbit hole, I think that if you've failed yourself or you've been failed by the world, it provides a way out.

The Universe Is Mostly Hydrogen and Ignorance
