Who knows if Keanu Reeves actually said this, but it's mostly why I don't post that often on social media. I also block even if I just randomly read an annoying post that has nothing to do with me, because life's too damn short. I expect the same if I ever post something dumb. Block baby block. 🧱

In the real world, you step around & ignore a kook sitting by himself on the subway trying to get your attention & yelling at you about crazy crap. When you do the exact same thing to a kook on social media, he imagines it's a victory & he must be a genius. 🤷‍♂️

Aaron Rodgers was an expert at throwing an oval-shaped ball. Because he was an expert at throwing an oval-shaped ball, he thinks he's the master of everything. Not true. So the stuff he says that has nothing to do with throwing an oval-shaped ball, it can be safely ignored. Really.

Can laymen grasp scientific papers? I have a Microbiology degree. Even I've trouble understanding papers in my field, mainly bc I got my degree years ago then stopped, so my knowledge is rusty. I know what I don't know, so I mostly stay silent. The average Joe has no clue how much he doesn't know.

There's at the very least an implicit social contract that we all do our part so society functions well, preferable over chaos & insecurity. Those insisting on personal rights without recognizing social responsibilities can just live off-grid, or forever be stuck in adolescence. John F. Kennedy:
