Seen this shit before with Reddit’s most astroturfed poison producers: Monsanto.
“Glyphosate is so safe that you can drink it.” 
“Then drink it. Right now. With the cameras on you.” 
“I got to go!”

I saw that thread. You might have wondered why I didn’t comment in it; it was so fucking radioactive that I decided it wasn’t worth giving my opinion in there if it meant picking up another superfan or two that might rage about me for the next year or so afterward.
Yeah I made a few comments and then just dipped out of reading my replies until today because the Elon glazing was so fucking thick. It was a mistake, I should only post in the newsmega with my people.
Scientism is a helluva drug. A lot of self-described leftists (and especially self-described progressives) have big blinders on whenever something sounds like it’ll make their favorite fiction books come a little closer to true, no matter the actual cost of whatever it is.
As someone that is very much into science, I agree. That’s why one of my favourite albums of all time is “Dear Science” by TV On The Radio. It’s very much a critique of scientism and a critique on the “corruption of science”, if you will.
If you’ve watched Breaking Bad
before you’ve probably heard this song from the album already, but it just sums it up perfectly.
I saw this said once about “I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE”
types: “You don’t ‘love science,’ you stare at science’s ass as it walks by.”
Exactly, as the song says about the fetishism of science:
One can only hope, and he does seem to be really losing it lately.
But I have a strong feeling that the “death professor” referred to in the song could be Oppenheimer, which makes sense if you see the song as describing the progress of science towards a nuclear detonation, from the barely controlled locomotive (steam era) to the static explosion of a nuclear warhead.
I’m pretty sure that was the intended subject of the lyrics, too. I just wanted to apply them further.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Sometimes I think I need to follow your example and disconnect from internet but my job is internet and I can’t afford to go live on a boat without internet access
I wasn’t entirely without the internet while I was away, but I was very, very distracted with the early stages of my ongoing projects. Now that I have a bit more free time, posting here is habit forming and I sometimes feel like Lahey falling off the wagon again.
I am the post, Randy
Consider having an inexplicable log in issue that makes it so you can’t log onto hexbear on your work computer. That’s what I do
But then I would have to just do work shit the whole time and that would be un-hexbear-able
