He's thinking of the second law, anyway. The first law is just conservation of energy and if anything that makes limitless power sources seem more plausible.

That would be second law. Always fun seeing these dumb mother fuckers trying using tools that they don't understand.

Also who still listens to Ben "I shout louder than you so I won!" Shapiro?

I think he mean "free energy", the dumbest phrase since "make america great again"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Make america great again is a good phrase, it is just uttered by people that want to make america great for troglodytes again.

There are people out there - a lot of people - who thing he's smart. Humans are a failed evolutionary experiment.

When you're less intelligent than the layer of algae on the lake, any moron with a room temp IQ seems intelligent. Which, incidentally, is why republicans are anti-education: when your constituents are stupid AF, they'll believe any dipshit claiming they want to make America great while they burn it down around their ears.

A friend (ex friend I guess since it's been two months) is constantly spouting the shit these types disseminate

My hot take .. This is what happens when someone doesn't learn to find their own answers. Too much of education is spoon feeding instead of having kids investigate shit they're interested in on their own, with guidance on critical thinking. It is better now than it was BaCk In mY DaY.

But I'm just sitting here contemplating my own brain journey. I learned far too late how to find my own answers and verify them for correctness. I tried to raise my kid from an early age to think for herself more by sometimes not verifying things for her but having her do that.

The other thing is learning how to apply the scientific method to something you care about--to some project, say. It really has an impact when you get an answer that goes against common sense and then you verify it and think really hard and it turns out your new theory is correct.

Imagine if education were set up with at least some portion of the day dedicated to satisfying curiosity in these ways...

Kind of makes me think once I retire I should set up some kind of summer camp program like this.
