I don’t give a shit. I’m eating Chick-fil-A. Forty years from now I’m not gonna remember Trump this or gay marriage that. If I want to feel like I’m helping people I’ll go actually help real people instead of partaking in some weird power g

Yeah I dunno, the Caddo and Wichita were pretty serious about folk science. They had real villages and farms and stuff. They weren’t just kinda camping out and going with the flow wherever ancestral memory took them.
