Believing in Science
- Seriously, I just gag every time I hear somebody claim any kind of valor for “believing in science”. Congrats, you’ve done the bare minimum and made no real difference.
- It’s also a means of trying to distinguish yourself and erect a barrier and demarcation between the unwashed working class and yourself. It’s a subtle form of boot-licking; kissing up to the professional class.

- Takeaways:
  - The bosses are bad
  - Stan culture is an op for Capital
  - Any org designed for, and created within this racist and capitalist system will always have these issues
  - Focusing on totems to cancel can be a distraction
  - Parasocial relationships, and the pitfalls thereof
    - It is risky to find yourself believing someone such as a podcast host is your friend
    - It is also risky to take someone’s entire personality as a model for your own
    - The goal is to synthesize the best aspects of someone’s personality into your own
    - Identifying the strengths and flaws of people can be hard! Don’t feel bad about making a mistake. You cannot possibly know what’s going on in their brain
    - Hold people to account, and do not be afraid to cut them out of your life if they cannot rise to the occasion and admit their wrongdoings
      - If we are to live in an enlightened society, their must be some consequences for bad behavior
