Dear Americans, you are not special ;)

You took a collective shit on science by making up terms such as "social construct" to excuse deviancy and antisociality, even though the founder of the Double Helix himself put it clear as day to you that biological makeup is a key factor.

I love this phrase: the founder of the Double Helix. As if it was an institution established and created by one man, and no other scientists can match his expertise on it because it is his creation - you know, crackpot level exclusive social constructionism.

When you've got a target as big as America's prominent anti-intellectual / anti-science strain, and you only end up managing to make yourself look like a bigoted homophobe, there's a problem.

Because this is the same strain of anti-science thought that runs throughout much of America's fundamentalist right: they use 'science' as a scare-word representing 'stuff you were taught in sixth grade,' and any climate change/evolution/gender and sexuality stuff that challenges that is 'against science' despite what the actual scientific method reveals.

Is social constructivism even American? I thought most of that kind of thing came from France. You seem to have an unhealthy obsession with America given the similar ideals of the rest of the west. Why is America so special to you, hm? What separates us from the rest of the decadent socialist liberal gay-loving atheist economically-messy world? Is it because of the Putin-like right-wing militaristic/masculinist quasimonarchist conservative dickwaving that many Americans love? That's the key difference, I'd say. That's a good point. America should definitely be less like that. I'm on board.

I don't think I'm special. I'm no better than the other 6 billion people on this planet.

Well, first of all, it's 7 billion, second of all, that's not true. If that's the case it either means you're the worst person on the planet, which I doubt, or everyone in the world is equally good/bad, which isn't true, ie pedophiles, terrorists, rapists, murderers <<<< regular people.

ETA: Inb4 lock.

And everywhere but Boston. Is there something extra special about that place? Maybe our American overlords can elaborate.

We foil invaders with shitty traffic patterns, maddening one-way streets, and total lack of street signs.

We shall destroy the invaders with bus-lanes!

Realising that PestilencE is in Edinburgh I shall keep my eyes peeled for tin foil hats.

Careful, the marauding alien tripods could cram in a few dozen alien warriors, and the Martians could then reclassify their war machines as public transit!
