100,000 Dead And 45 Fights Twitter

This dude. Never in my 5 decades in the business have I seen such hubris. You think that wearing a mask is tyrannical, but shutting down a private company because they hurt your feelings isn't? You're so afraid of China, well, China censors the Internet. Today I weep for a country that doesn't care that 100,000 are dead and instead cover their ears, close their eyes and turn their lips into a bitter sneer. Those who embrace lies and conspiracy theories, instead of truth and the hard facts. I have a hard enough time relating to people, today I feel like I'm utterly alone. Lower your heads, newshounds and eat shit.

Carl Sagan said "Plainly there is no way back. Like it or not, we are stuck with science. We had better make the best of it. When we finally come to terms with it and fully recognize its beauty and its power, we will find, in spiritual as well as in practical matters, that we have made a bargain strongly in our favor.

But superstition and pseudoscience keep getting in the way, distracting us, providing easy answers, dodging skeptical scrutiny, casually pressing our awe buttons and cheapening the experience, making us routine and comfortable practitioners as well as victims of credulity."
