Story time:

In middle school biology, we did an experiment. We were given yams, which we would sprout in cups of water. We then had to make hypotheses about how the yams would grow, based on descriptions of yam plants in our books, and make notes of our observations as they grew.

Here’s what was supposed to happen: we were supposed to see that the actual growth of the plant did not resemble our hypotheses. We were then supposed to figure out that these were, in fact, sweet potatoes.

What actually happened was that every single student in every single class lied in their notes so that their observations perfectly matched their hypotheses. See, everyone assumed the mismatch meant they had done something wrong in the process of growing the plant or that they had misunderstood the dichotomous key or the plant identification terminology. And, thanks to the wonders of a public school education, everyone assumed the wrong results would get us a failing grade. We were trying to pass. We didn’t want to get bitched out by the teacher. Curiosity, learning, science - that had nothing to do with why we were sitting in that classroom. So we all lied.

The teacher was furious. She tried to fail every student, but the administration stepped in and told her she wasn’t allowed to because a 100% fail rate is recognized as a failure of the teacher, not the class. It wasn’t even her fault, really, though her being a notorious hard-ass didn’t help. It was a failure of the entire educational system.

So whenever I see crap like Elizabeth Holmes’s blood test scam or pharmaceutical trials which are unable to be replicated or industry-funded research that reaches wildly unscientific conclusions, I just remember those fucking sweet potatoes. I remember that curiosity dies when people are just trying to give their superiors the “right” answers, so they can get the grade, get the job, get the paycheck. It’s not about truth when it’s about paying rent. There’s no scientific integrity if you can’t control for human desperation.

Hello, Neil. First off, I'd like to say that I love your work, second, what are your thoughts on Joan of Arc, and third (yes I know, too many topics), what are your thoughts on sharks?

Again, love your work and I hope you have a good day!

My thoughts on Joan of Arc:

My thoughts on sharks are probably very similar.

I forget this myself sometimes, I can’t work nonstop without breaks. I’ve had to drop commitments just because there’s not enough time in the week to do it all and stay mentally healthy.

THIS!

Wall-E from Wall-E vs. Niko from Oneshot and Madeline from Celeste.

All 3 of them are way too wholesome and sweet to try and kill each other. But if it came down to it, I genuinely think it would result in a draw. Madeline would dash out of the way of any attacks, Wall-E’s laser, while powerful, probably couldn’t kill anyone, and Niko is literally a child.

Unless of course Badeline shows up. Then the other two are toast.

1. Yes they have to fight, 2. Tell me who’s fighting who in the tags! (I’ll add the most ridiculous combos in a reblog)
