Some people are looking for facts and science, and some are looking for enthusiasm and excitement. Can't discount either one, I suppose.
- CyberDildonics 3y agoCan't discount either one, I suppose. People getting each other excited by pretending fiction is reality is called religion. That's fine if people are honest about it.
- klyrs 3y agoYou can be enthusiastic and excited while looking for facts and science. In fact, my interest in rooting out truths tends to go hand in hand with my passion for the topic. Negative results are important for scientific advancement, and I was just as excited to see LK99 fully analyzed, despite it not turning out to be the holy grail. We always knew that was a longshot; I enjoyed the journey regardless of the destination. My admonition "get over yourself" is a response to this ridiculous idea that science should be a joyless affair. It isn't, and must not be. Historically, fuddy-duddy downers don't make the big discovaries.
