I used work at a movie theater and the stupiditiy flowed like a river. Gawking at the stupid became a means of entertainment. You would be shocked at how many people will ask you to rewind the movie because they were late. Most of the time it would be because they were all alone and figured it wouldn't hurt anyone. Not only should they have been on time, back when they were using film projectors it was physically impossible.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
