He was too honest to play the game. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BilboBargains@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago* (1 child) What does that say about our society? Can you imagine taking the same attitude as a scientist? Nothing would ever work because it relies on foundational truth and integrity.

These idiots can't do science or politics but they have the same voting rights as everyone else. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Sauerkraut@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago Lying works because our schools don't teach critical thinking anymore.
