I've decided I don't want to go on a Titanic Sight Seeing sub. If condolences are in order I'll offer them. :( Listened to a sub expert who said "the sub is an experimental vehicle, not even made out of steel, but fiberglass. I'd never go on it." The report on NPR said that you walk into this adventure with eyes wide open, taking your life in your hands, death is mentioned 3 times on the first page of the disclaimer, in a list of ways you can die.

@Huntn00 I think that is exactly what Gould was addressing. I see the parallels between the blatantly self-serving folks in the past and the blatantly self-serving folks today… which is one of the reasons I reread Gould regularly and post about it when I do. I’ve actually seen some pretty smart people believing self-serving fantasies (my cardiologist who talked about trickle-down economics being a prime example).

@Sheril @GreenFire Yep. Science, facts and data are not about popularity.

Let’s stop interviewing celebs with uninformed opinions & no healthcare training about vaccines.
#Juneteenth #USAPolitics If the GOP ever takes total control of the USFedGovt, just think as part of anti-woke GOP policies actively pushed in a variety of States, this Federal Holiday would likely be removed and the event would be forbidden by law to be discussed in school. Go back to sleep they’ll whisper in your ear or better yet bash your head against a rock. We need to keep you stupid. 🤔 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juneteenth

Happy Juneteenth, a milestone in USA history where we actually took a step towards the ideals we profess. 🥰 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juneteenth
