Slides my boob outta my bathing suit like how a sketchy man pulls illegal shit out of his coat: I think I have something that may be of interest to you.
It has been brought to my attention that this was posted on my wrong blog and I’m sorry but not sorry enough to move it.
I was just at the dispensary waiting in a really long line and not paying attention AT ALL and not thinking about my lesbian flag shoelaces and some girl who I presumed to be a freak walked up and was like I Like Your Shoelaces and unfortunately I had my auto responder on and instantly went Thanks I Stole Them From The President and she went Joe Biden is a lesbian?? So anyways I’m throwing myself off the Sears tower
Okay something that bothers me is the fact physics is seen as the more prestigious of the three main sciences, with biology at the bottom and chemistry in the middle. Like. I doubt most people could name a famous biologist, but they could name 5 famous physicists. Why are Albert Einstein and Stephen hawking household names but Norman Borlaug and Jonas Salk aren’t?
Not to dismiss the accomplishments of Einstein or Hawking, or their genius, but their actual tangible contributions to society have been miniscule compared to that of Borlaug or Salk who have each saved LITERALLY hundreds of millions, if not billions, of lives each. Half the food on your plate was probably grown thanks to Borlaug and Salk is the reason half your siblings didn’t die of polio as a kid.
Sure Einsteins theory of relatively is important for modern satellite communications but really though how can it compare?
This is coming from someone who studied physics. I love physics, and years ago when i was at uni I looked down at biology and so did everyone else studying physics. And I know others did too. Retroactively of course I know this was so very wrong.
If society as a whole started treating biology with more respect then maybe more students would go into that field. If we had rockstars of medicine and agricultural science that were household names rather than just physicists? think of how many more lives could be saved, how many more lives could be improved.
I’m not saying physics isn’t important, and more scientists of any kind is always good, but proportionally I think societies priorities are a little skewd.
malls are such an interesting paradoxical space to me inn that they are entirely designed around capitalism and consumption, but they’re also one of the few public spaces you can exist without the necessity of spending money. you can walk around and sit as much as you want in a pretty bright open space designed explicitly for pedestrians. they’re common hangout spaces for broke teens even in the absence of buying anything. and yet they are simultaneously monuments to consumption that are constantly trying to get you to consume. it’s interesting. i really like malls
it makes me so mad people won’t leave this poor kid alone but every single response he shoots off is funnier than if you gave me a week to think of one
What if we logged into tumblr one day, and some of us just had blue verification checkmarks next to our urls but nobody knew why and staff was completely silent on the subject
