  1. That is such a great line and the full quote is even better "a scream of defiance against weaponized stupidity and the influences of ignorance." I'm an aerospace engineer and the staggering amount of ignorance in the media on reporting almost everything in technology is staggering. I'm Australian but did my degree in America in the late 80s during the Reagan Star Wars era. We worked out back then that the whole energy weapons zapping ballistic missiles was NEVER GOING TO WORK. The classic was that lasers bounce off shiny surfaces. Even if you can deliver the energy required you have vehicles moving at insane speeds and the task of being able to identify track predict and target accurately anything is incredibly hard. Yet just recently here in Australia the head of our "space force" announced they would be pursuing "soft kill" technologies for satellites and the media jumped on it like they have with the word "hypersonic." The ignorant mass of Australia egged on by the clickbait brigade in the media are preparing to spend several billion dollars on junk science that CANNOT EVER WORK. And that's just one of the idiotically stupid things we are up to. Every other developed nation is also doing similarly stupid things. Other than the media a major problem is the consulting industry who just drown the business world and governments under mountains of BS. Go look up British-Italian economist Mariana Mazzucato who's recently written a book called "the big con" about the consulting industry. There's a bunch of talks she's given here on YT about the subject of the consulting industry and how pervasive it is.
