I jumped on the one that hijacks the optic nerve itself. No need to actually project something, just going to augment your reality.

The currency is secure... the banks, however, are less so.

Or really, really didn’t like the look of your face.

Clearly, David and this kid were in cahoots running a marijuana (or something) patch out there remotely and David tried to screw the kid over so he made up some junk and pretended there was a Mayan city there so people would go check it out and screw David over too.

They have a picture of the comment on the original article (linked at the top of this one). The general tone and wording gives off a specific vibe and it isn’t a nice one. I don’t care that it is a kid, it would look and feel like a dickish response regardless.

Yes, what the kid did was not really science... but, as the experts themselves said, they can’t be certain it is a field without ground work.

Jungles are fascinating places that I would never, ever live near. Ever.

To be fair, even the original story on Gizmodo was pretty clear in the article that it wasn’t verified or anything. Not sure what else should be said other than that.

I dunno, did you read David’s entire comment? Sounds pretty dickish to me.

Yeah, he isn’t the brightest guy out there... and should probably be quiet on things outside of astrophysics and cosmology... but his pedantic stuff always sounded to me like that friend who teasingly corrects some minute, irrelevant thing with a big smile on his face so you know he is just fucking with you.

I have always wanted to go check out some of the Mayan or Aztec cities, seems so interesting. Hot out.. but interesting.

David’s full comment is the one that kind of stood out to me, more so than the rest (negative things tend to do that for us humans...). Real dickish sounding and not very scientific either.

David Stuart did not express any such opinion, actually.

The kid’s methodology leaves... much to be desired, so to speak, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he is wrong. So just outright dismissing it like David did is just a dick move.

You didn’t answer the question. Are cosmologists and astrophysicists not scientists anymore? I don’t care about your personal opinion on Tyson.

I don’t disagree that it should have been verified with a ground team or the like before hitting the media but... there is a good way to say that and a bad way.

I mean, being realistic about it... the kid is almost certainly wrong.

Yeah, the first guy was fine and even, comparatively, quite kind.

Are cosmologists and astrophysicists not scientists anymore?

Fascinating, so it is “actual science” to act like a arrogant ass?
