You know the type. High school dropouts or non STEM Bachelors with no intentions of entering the academic or professional scientific world.
They're all over social media with their stupid fanboying and girling over science, sharing Neil Degrassi Tyson quotes, IFL Science clickbait, talking about god knows what.
Any stories on these folks? Also- thoughts on a final solution to the science fan problem welcome.
>Stupidest shit you've heard "science fans" say? A few personal submissions of mine: -"We're in a simulation!" -"Quantum immortality is real!" -"Science disproves God!" -"Science says there is no afterlife!" -"We'll colonize Mars!" -"Consciousness is the observer of QM!" -"AI will kill us/save us!" -"Wormholes, immortality, consciousness in a computer, nanomachines... the future!" Basically anything that is unfalsifiable. People try to give science a meaning or purpose when it's really just testing stuff around, sometimes also thinking science is a broader term for "sci-fi made real" and "engineering".
Chemistry seems to have pleb filter so there's less misinformation.

I hate the AI/ Singularity jerkoffs.
MD Anderson just gave up on an IBM Watson DocBot project, wasting tens of millions in research grants. Singularity and AI are nowhere near as close as these fucking nerds want it to be so they can upload their brain to skyrim or pornhub or some shit.
