      it might technically be gatekeeping, but it’s not arbitrary, or even a very high bar. Science just involves doing the scientific method, which anyone, even the guy in the comic, can do. What he’s actually doing, and what a lot of “pop science” stuff is, is trivia. Trivia is awesome, but not really science.

      Calling science loser shit is a bold stance. Aren’t you a fellow believer and practitioner in the “immortal science”?

        I like race cars. I’ve never designed a race car.

        You don’t need to study 5+ years full time to like the scientific method.
