No offence Mark Ruffalo, but where’s your fucking degree? Where is your environmental science, geology, or chemistry degree or research prowess? Have you even read any of the papers, or discussed the opinions you’re brandishing with the research community? I’m sick and tired of celebrities pretending to know about matters that they have no right to brodcast their opinions about. He has not presented his opinion in an unbiased way. I call bullshit. Stop the mass enslaught of people accepting an opinion as fact just because they earn a shit tonne of money and work in the public eye.
I don’t agree with fracking, but for well reserached reasons. You claim that there is no way the fracking can be safe. I contest this idea. I detest the fact that the US is used as an example, they began fracking in an unregulated, and basically harmful, manner. We can frack safely, if we regulate it. I have heard the discussions from industry about this, because guess what? I’m a fricking geology student. I am a scientist. I know about manufactured uncertainty, and the pure basis of fact. Make an argument that is not stating an opinion. Make an argument that is backed up by the fact that you are an expert on the subject. I am not an expert, but I am not being widely published by main media, my opinion is not being accepted by millions of people.
gosh but like we spent hundreds of years looking up at the stars and wondering “is there anybody out there” and hoping and guessing and imagining
because we as a species were so lonely and we wanted friends so bad, we wanted to meet other species and we wanted to talk to them and we wanted to learn from them and to stop being the only people in the universe
and we started realizing that things were maybe not going so good for us— we got scared that we were going to blow each other up, we got scared that we were going to break our planet permanently, we got scared that in a hundred years we were all going to be dead and gone and even if there were other people out there, we’d never get to meet them
and then
we built robots?
and we gave them names and we gave them brains made out of silicon and we pretended they were people and we told them hey you wanna go exploring, and of course they did, because we had made them in our own image
and maybe in a hundred years we won’t be around any more, maybe yeah the planet will be a mess and we’ll all be dead, and if other people come from the stars we won’t be around to meet them and say hi! how are you! we’re people, too! you’re not alone any more!, maybe we’ll be gone
but we built robots, who have beat-up hulls and metal brains, and who have names; and if the other people come and say, who were these people? what were they like?
the robots can say, when they made us, they called us discovery; they called us curiosity; they called us explorer; they called us spirit. they must have thought that was important.
and they told us to tell you hello.
This fucks me up so bad
