Dear Nitwit,

A reduced faith in science might, hear me out here, ••might•• have something to do with science, ya know, killing the planet and what not. You wanna get some faith back? Maybe apply these new technologies to human happiness, or even, who knows human survival.

One more thing, nimrod. The real risk averse culture? It ain’t your unwashed “zero-sum thinking Millennials” No, it’s your hyper capitalist who’s rigged the system to the point where taking financial risk is erased by government bailouts. They’re the ones who want to eliminate risk.

And it’s that, plus their increased control of what is and is not researched in practised science that leads to our dismay. See above: “planet dying” Imagine something like pencillin, developed entirely within an academic risky environment, getting made today.

There’s risk in true critical thinking, instead of lazy “Kids Today” hand-wringing. So, in future, take a fucking risk.

Wow, thanks!

As to the first, it’s not the Simpsons, but may be either Alpine for You (Popeye short, 1951) or The Mouse That Roared (1959). If you don’t want to go down a rabbit hole for many hours, do NOT click the following link. This was the result of great obsession, and I’m very impressed. Good luck on your dataset!

Upvoted for correct use of word ‘grok’, but definitely want to learn more about agent-based modelling. If for no other reason than truth inoculation is one of the more vital battles of our time.

Evidence for: Constantine and JCVD Evidence against: Waterworld.

To be fair, though, the greatness of the Universal logo as a flooded world almost makes up for the whole movie. So yes, thesis proved.
