Self-promoting a new entry on my capsule about sarcasm in tech and research fields. Against progress, against trying new things, strongly biased, just to win an argument.

Tell me what you think. I suppose it's a minority view of mine.

@breakfast_champion right, but on the bright side TV is worse than YT here. Newspapers are now SEO-driven and quality has plummeted.
About the last sentence, in Europe we have probably the worst politicians in the last 50 years. They simply cannot play the game right. · 5 months ago
Thank you for your time @userfxnet, based on comments on YouTube it seems like an overwhelming trend. Such a conversation here instead bring me hope. · 5 months ago
Beautiful article, and it shouldn't be a 'minor view', as I feel this level of passive aggressive self-interest has leaked not only into just fields related to cosmology, but in a lot of theoretical physics, computer engineering, software programming, all manner of fields in which an optimistic yet measured perpective would yield much better than the cynical dismissive culture that seems to pervade supposed education institutions. This biased elitism postures as if somehow to maintain some perceived manner of integrity when it actually FOREGOES integrity entirely for the sake of intellectually dull 'foundational preservation' it's gross how much this behavior can hold progress back. · 5 months ago
