    I fully agree with this and don’t dispute it, but when you look at all the media that came out from the republicans within the first 48 after the shooting, hell even trump’s speech, was about “the radical left”. even if the reality is different now, that thought is already engrained in the psyche of the right and I almost guarantee that even after the realization that Tyler is even more radical than kirk, the tabloids will continue to read “radical left”, even though everyone knows its bullshit. because its what everyone except for the dems want to hear.

    two things I feel into a rabbit hole about recently were how LSD became illegal and the Fermi paradox.

    so LSD, once hailed as a powerful tool for psychological healing and spiritual exploration, became illegal largely due to political and cultural backlash. as the drug became associated with the 1960s counterculture, anti-establishment movements, and civil unrest, governments—particularly in the U.S.—moved to criminalize it more out of fear of social disruption than scientific reasoning. the backlash overshadowed promising medical research, leading to decades of prohibition.

    the Fermi Paradox points out the contradiction between the high probability of alien civilizations existing in our vast universe and the complete lack of evidence or contact with them. despite billions of stars and potentially habitable planets, we haven’t seen signs of intelligent life—raising big questions like: Are we alone, or is something stopping civilizations from contacting or surviving long enough to do so?
