This movie was great!!! IDGAF what anyone says.

Can we agree that economics is not a science? I mean that in a way that is not a value judgment, but it just isn't. Like, where's your scientific method?

Ugh. "Silent, gentle rape." I promise you, dude has flogged the old bishop to such thoughts. Like, bet you real-world money. It's what economists would call a smart investment.

If you want people to be "Science Literate', then perhaps they should read a book.

They are physiologically incapable, and they lack the brain architecture required for innate language processing. Humans only need to be exposed to conversing adults to pick up language, while any apes that can use sign language or other methods must be actively and intensively taught.
