J.B. Pritzker: "The best way to spot an idiot is look for the person who is cruel, let me explain..." youtu.be/DY7hfnkiphM?...

Fastest way to lose weight - cut off a thigh! Fastest way to end a war - give the enemy everything they want! Genius!

A 1980 quote from Isaac Asimov, one of my favorite Sci-Fi authors:

Top 5 regrets of dying people: 1) Not having courage to live a life true to themselves 2) Working too hard 3) Not having courage to express their feelings 4) Losing touch with friends 5) Not letting themselves be happier (From palliative caregiver Bronnie Ware's book, "The Top 5 Regrets of Dying")

"The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media...lowest common denominator programming... pseudoscience and superstition...a kind of celebration of ignorance” - Carl Sagan (1995). He foresaw Twitter 30 years ago!

"There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who divide the world into two kinds of people, and those who don't."~ Gloria Steinem. This world cannot be divided into two kinds of people, no matter how simply you look at it.

Best viewer comment I heard today: "Confident, authoritative ignorance. Thats what social media has fostered."

For me, if it were possible...definitely SPACE!

How do you debunk the flat Earth argument that water would fly off at the equator due to the spin of a spherical Earth? By calculating how fast the earth would have to spin to overcome the gravitational force at the equator. Answer=17x, or 17 rotations every 24 hrs. 1.4 hr days instead of 24 hrs.

98% of climatologists & 90% of all scientists agree climate change is real. But only 40-60% Americans do. One climatologist explains why: media tends to have "expert guests" - 1 who supports & 1 who doesn't. A more accurate representation would be picking 10 scientists at random who debate the issue

Just like rich people don't go around telling everyone how rich they are, smart people don't go around telling everyone how smart they are.

This is our latest video showing the evidence for why Dark Matter likely exists, and that all the sensationalized videos claiming that it doesn't exist should taken with a grain of salt. youtu.be/HRMR7eMKLz0

To all conspiracy theorists who believe we never landed on the moon: Please explain the foot tracks and moon lander shadows in photos taken by India's chandrayaan-3 lunar orbiter. I'm sure you'll find preposterous explanations for this too!

Science denial is not Democratic or Republican...it is ignorance.

The true size of the Andromeda galaxy, the closest to our own, is 6X diameter of the moon, but we can only see a small portion of it typically with our eyes or binoculars. This is the farthest object we can see with the naked eye.

UFO sightings have been around for 80 yrs. ~5000 yearly sightings. Nearly all can be explained, but ~21. After 80yrs, there's no physical evidence that UFOs are alien origin. If aliens actually visited earth, it would be an event so big, so profound that we would all know it.
