I never said science can’t be bad, Again, your myopic take is so fucking simplistic and surface level. You even admit to intentionally ignoring systemic reality as if it is inconsequential, which is fucking stupidity at its finest. Like, congratulations for stating the obvious: you need people to perform labor for something to happen. No fucking shit, Sherlock. Now that we have the obvious out of the way, maybe ask yourself why they are performing that labor and what are the system forces that drive their actions?
It isn’t about could the park be built, but would it have been built. The answer to that is no, it wouldn’t have been built in the first place if not for the driving forces of capitalism (represented by Hammond, the capitalist owner who had controlling authority over the park’s production) dictating the actions of those who actually labored in the production of the park. The park also couldn’t have been built without the engineers who constructed the subpar infrastructure or an IT tech to create and install the park’s faulty security system.
Those engineers built the park the way they did because Hammond didn’t want to pay extra for fail-safes as noted in the book (i.e. the capitalist owner was driven by the profit incentive to neglect material conditions of the park) And the IT systems failed because Hammond decided to neglect staff pay, specifically Nedry, in favor of chasing the capitalist profit incentive. This same logic applies to the scientists who only conducted the research they were conducting because they were hired by Hammond to specifically do so.
Again, please fucking learn to look beyond the surface and critically examine things. I know it’s difficult but you can do it if you actually try.

It is 100% capitalism’s fault. Those scientists are doing a job because we live in a society that necessitates having one to meet our basic needs.
We don’t know their individual lives or circumstances that could be forcing them to take on a position, but we do know that those circumstances only exist due to the overarching system they live under.
Your take is simplistic and just assumes that they simply have to be bad people instead of understanding the complexities of systemic forces that dictate our society.
Please, for the love of God, learn to look beyond the surface of something.

None of it was because the scientists thought that dinosaurs were amphibians. In the lore of the books, DNA from reptiles, avians, and amphibians were used to fill in gaps in the dino DNA.
The book explains that the DNA used to fill those gap was chosen specifically for certain traits that would make for more attractive or durable creatures for the theme park, highlighting how what was being done “in the name of science” actually had nothing to do with any real scientific progress or discovery.

Sam Neill, the actor who did the scene, has been asked about the scene before and confirmed it is 100% unintentionally foreshadowing.
It was just supposed to confirm that Grant is in fact a Luddite who struggles with tech of all sorts.

It is bad science because there’s no reason to be doing the science at all
This just rounds itself back to capitalism being the problem because the science was being done for a reason: to generate profit for Hammond.
Bad science is usually always conducted to suit the ends of someone trying to use the results for manipulative/exploitative purposes.

Majority of people rarely engage with any media beyond the surface to actually analyze it and come to those conclusions about the deeper themes. Most just think “well, that’s just people being people” and fail to see the social commentary.

In the books, and movie iirc, they used DNA from all three, not just frogs, to replace missing segments of the dino DNA.
It was just that DNA used from a specific species of frog had the unintentional side effect of allowing some of the dinos to change sex (which is a thing called sequential hermaphroditism)

Sounds like an intrinsic flaw of monetary based economics then.
Maybe we should do something about it? It isn’t like alternatives don’t exist.

People really be arguing in favor of bread and circuses without understanding it is the very thing that is keeping them from engaging in political action for change.

Western neoliberal democracy isn’t the only option and, depending on perspective, was part of the problem by systemically enabling the rise of fascism.

While at the same time allowing people to be systemically murdered through lack of access to necessities because someone wasn’t able to make a profit off of them.
Or are you trying to say those deaths are justified just because the state doesn’t label it as “murder”?
- Comment on I'm very Jesus-like 1 month ago:
Making people angry enough to get up and do something about it, angry enough to disregard the system and start breaking it. Angry enough to disobey.
Instead people are all too happy to remain obedient to the very system that oppresses them as long as they continue to be provided their bread and circuses.

Lol you tell on yourself too much. The people using violence in that scenario was the Jews. They rose up and used violence against the Nazis that were oppressing them.
We all know what side you’d be supporting, considering your adamant stance against those who use violence. This is exactly how liberalism enables fascism. Enjoy sitting on your fence while you still have it.
- Comment on It's only a class war when we fight back 1 month ago:
The state should not get a monopoly on violence, especially when it wants to use that violence to maintain its power of authority to oppress the working class within its imaginary boundaries.
If the state can use violence to assert its will then we of the working class can do the same to defend ourselves against it.

Yes, there is no merit in understanding the nonsensical logic of religious dogma. Their logic is all the same circular logic of “God says so, cause it’s in the book, that I know is true, cause God said so in the book.”
Instead, we should be understanding human psychology and what drives people to believe in the superstitious and trap themselves in fallacious logic while dismantling the current institutions that abuse this flaw of human psych for their own selfish ends.
The reason they can use it to oppress people is because people give it legitimacy and treat it as a valid belief instead of the superstitious nonsense that it is. Th

Cool bud, I don’t want nor care to understand them. This isn’t about ancient cultures. This is about modern day and how people utilize their mythology to oppress minorities and women. They, and their stupid collection of fairy tales, need to fuck off and shove their shitty excuses for their shitty behavior up their fucking ass.

For it to be scientifically accurate of a comparison, the ratio of weight:human needs to be equal to that of rider:horse.
In case my phrasing is confusing, to illustrate what I mean here is an example: a 200lb horse carrying a 100lb human is equivalent to a 100lb human carrying a 50lb weight.
