Came across this gem someone posted in the aforementioned FB group.

If you want to be smart at something, you should pick an area of interest that you have the potential to know and control your words, and also something you can be really good at. This post is about why I believe that science and technology are very poor choices.

If an intelligent alien race came and revealed themselves to our species, all of the leading science and technology professionals and academics would jump to the back of being far less intelligent than even the dumbest of the aliens.

I could probably get Sheldon Cooper to agree with me. He once said he would jump at the opportunity to be an extra terrestrial’s pet, because the learning opportunities would be tremendous (also he says he likes having his belly rubbed).

My areas of interest are rhetoric, religion and the human animal (human nature) which led to me knowing my self. I believe I would be a lot smarter than these theoretical aliens about what it means that we are human, unless they only came here to eat us... but either way, I believe they should think of me as a peer.

I strongly suspect (but cannot prove) that people who posit 'science and technology are very poor choices' are a subset of the group of people who are very poor at maths.

This meme is stupid 

The Cuban flag wasn't even made by the communist party it was designed 1849 and was adopted in 1902 long before the communist take over  .The Confederate battle flag was created by Confederacy and has specific confederate symbolism and was the battle flag of those who fought to maintain slavery .Your flag is a symbol of hate get over it .

This meme is dumb 

Ones attacking a group of minorities the other is criticizing a country.

The North won, that's the real history. Continuing to show this kind of flag merely displays to us that you are holding onto a past that did not win for a reason.

Pretty much the same reason Germany doesn't recognize Nazi banners.

Not all heritage is a good thing. Like, if you’re celebrating a heritage of treating human beings as personal property (and an armed insurrection to preserve that treatment), you should seriously consider the very real possibility that you’re not fit to be around decent people.
