My favorite piece of media is Contact (book and movie).
Ellie is someone I would consider having an open mind. She dedicates her work, at great risk to her own career, finding signs of extraterrestrial life. Despite everyone telling her not to waste time and resources on it. But she does and she does it by collecting the evidence first, and when she got it, double and triple checked it before making the announcement.
Avi kind of does the opposite. He hypes his ideas up first, often taking credit for others' work, without sufficient evidence.
- andrei_says_ 1y agoOne of my other favorite piece of media is the intro of a Rick and Morty episode parodying the plot of contact. Highly recommended.
- ares623 1y agoI missed that. I’ll have to look it up.
- phatskat 1y agoThe South Park reference was pretty good too imo
- andrei_says_ 1y agoI think this is it. Perfect and brutal. https://youtu.be/RAchthXUvtU?si=nvdL-tqpnF1aKuRi https://youtu.be/RAchthXUvtU?si=nvdL-tqpnF1aKuRi
