    If you think scientific minds would be Eutopian overlords, you’ve never worked in academia.

      As a child of an academic (although in the humanities), I would never have wanted my father or his colleagues to have been in charge of anything. Half of them were nuts anyway.

      No one should underestimate humanity’s ability to ruin everything.

  I don’t think science is boring at all. I eat up every new thing the Webb Telescope shows us.

    I find it wild that people find explanation uninteresting and boring… Like, I get that it’s exciting to wonder and speculate about things, but I find getting real answers to be the most exciting. Expanding human knowledge is exciting, not boring.

      Exactly! I don’t get it. Why don’t you want to learn new things? It’s like they feel that thinking is hard. Maybe that’s it?
