  1. Astrology is the logical one. (This is a test in humor and intelligence, please don't correct me).

  2. Everyone has a part to play in society. Smart people spend their time chasing useless but incredibly interesting and mindblowing knowledge. That doesn't really make us better, just different.

  3. It really isn't. Furthermore, the general public neednt know any of this. Science is something for the elite few, always has been, always will be. If you enjoy learning about it, you are part of that top tenth or even fewer depending on how deep you go. And especially astronomy is as useless as it gets, despite being super interesting. Unless you're using the knowledge for satellites. And that is all fine. But lets not pretend there's any benefit in the working class knowing how big the sun is.

  4. Whatever. Astronomy ironically doesn't make the world go round. It's fun, it's interesting. But the only part that matters to most humans in the modern world are our small metal moons. Just don't think about that too much and enjoy learning about astronomy, has such a rich past.

  5. Now answer me. How are these estimates done. There's obviously only a limited amount of stars we can see, as well as galaxies. I'm guessing a much much smaller number than was said in the video.

  6. How does it look from up in your ivory observatory? Nonce.
