    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”?

      “Loving everything about something even the boring parts” isn’t even how love works so i don’t feel the need to address the rest of the gatekeeping

        The cyanide comic is shit, but that isn’t the point. What makes the “I love science” crowd annoying is that they aren’t trying to engage with the topic at all. You can’t gatekeep when nobody is attempting to pass the gate.

        It’s like people who claim they love books, when all they do is stack them in their shelves to appear intelligent.

      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.
