Science

Didn’t come up in Engg and while physics ends up being a big part of my research, I avoided difficult courses like Q Phys entirely.

I read the pop stuff sometimes though because unlike the driveling AI hype (which the rare AI scientist here or there aside seems on par with crypto or bschool psych studies in how bogus it is), those do seem to be areas where real movement is ongoing.

Since I am a gloomy and skeptical sort of person, I see it as a new avenue for new age religions to use to exploit a traumatized general public as it tries to grapple with complicated scientific concepts in an ever worsening, hopeless world with constantly deteriorating education systems.
