Will we ever recover?

Nope. Shut it down boys, le black science man got us.

by football he meant soccer

btw, no one cares about soccer anyway

I hate the flying cars meme

we already have them

the safety regulations for flying mean you can't have a large amount of aircraft in a small area like a city

some rural place full of lakes like Alaska or Minnesota it's no problem and they already exist, good two seater from kit for under 30k

Yeeyy... it's this thread... again...

>le Reddit """science""" man
Maybe if he spent less time on Twitter he would have made actual contributions to "his" field

Minnesota has a big metropolitan area though. And with how people drive the minute a snowflake drops I'd hate to see flying steel death machines.

>Sometimes I wonder if we'd have flying cars by now had civilization spend a little lees brain energy feeding africans.

Wonder where we would be if it wasn't for video games

this guy is a legitimate clown

Outside of Minneapolis what is there?

Does anyone like this insufferable cunt?

st. paul

He's right and you know it. Although it's weird to single out football. Vidya, porn and gambling are much bigger industries and just as useless.

AI.

It's dirt cheap actually and every human is a massive potential for progress.

The day a flying car scores two goals in a World Cup final like Ronaldo I'll take him seriously.

is he taking the piss or does he actually think giving the current morons on the roads flying vehicles is in any way a good idea

these fuckwits dont even signal when changing lanes or making sharp turns anymore and he wants them to take this shitshow 50 feet in the air?

what's dirt cheap?
What potential has someone from a tribe that hasn't develop writing, wells or wheels over millenia?

He isn't. Aeronautics and sports don't depend on each other at all.

It's an assumption that any form of entertainment holds down the human potential, but it only serves as a filter if you consider the capitalist model. In other words, you don't need more people working on science, you just need the right ones.

Even if you try hard to make something out of that tweet, football/sports programs usually bring money to colleges, and you need money to do science. Not to mention, pro sports help in the development of medicine, especially orthopedics.

>what's dirt cheap?
The amount of resources needed to keep everyone fed. Even with the current inflated costs, basic food is still pretty damn cheap. It's not like we're sending fucktons of beef to Africa.

Also the extremely backwards tribes are the minority, and even they can be used to study human behavior outside of the typical civilization and more subtle stuff like language.

In a way you're right but the current model also doesn't offer much of financial initiative to do something that could benefit more people. Tons of kids who might aspire to be a scientist will be tempted to aspire kicking balls for a living. Some decent developer who could help with AI, is using his time to make another Call of Duty. Obviously the tweet is overly simplistic and it's not as simple as "do aeronautics instead of football" ... but that's what twitter is for I guess.

>pro sports help in the development of medicine, especially orthopedics
True but given the billions sunk in it, it's not exactly efficient. I bet the salary of couple top athletes would get the same results for 1/1000000 of the money spent on the whole bullshit. Which would also open discussions about economics and markets and systems.

flying cars are stupid

wait I didn't check the flag
prep the bull hans and go to work tomorrow to pay my welfare lol

The reason we will never have flying cars is simple. When your car breaks down on the road, it crawls to a stop and you can easily get out and call for help. If your flying car breaks down in the middle of flying it, it falls from the sky and destroys it/kills you.

The money invested on the pharmaceutical industry isn't even close to the top players salary.

>Sports are stupid!!!!
>DUDE I LOVE SCI-FI AND COMICON LMAO

It's not like it's going to make much of a difference for my income. Feel free to buy yourself something nice for christmas, Pedro. Doesn't even a janitor here earn more than a teacher in Spain?

Depends from project to project, and is again vastly inflated by other factors (fucking marketing is 300 billions alone) and monopols fuck it up too. If we take the salaries of top players for top 20 clubs, it'd wouldn't be a too bad start even with current costs.

>Doesn't even a janitor here earn more than a teacher in Spain?
He may earn less but at least he doesn't get trucked

The NFL has done more for society than astrophysics

Hope he won't take a train either.

> Tfw too intelligent for science

much more people had died in train accidents in germany than spain

Caesar needs a coliseum

>If everyone was perfect, the world would be better

Really makes you think

> liberals everyone

Pretty sure he was talking about the Madrid train bombings like a decade ago

I can't believe this guy has credibility. His first proposition: we don't have flying cars.

Flying cars == passenger aircraft. Check.

Flying busses == commercial airlines. Check.

Flying trucks == air freight. Check.

Is he implying that a Toyota needs to fly? This is why Tyson is a planetarium manager and not a productive academic.

Jesus....that is the biggest fedora tip i've ever read.

Aww yeah. You can always trust that a Murican remembers when shit gets blown up.

Team sports are a natural feature of Western Civ because young men are incredibly aggressive. They need an outlet.

Without a proper outlet they turn their aggression on an improper outlet: the surrounding civilization and infrastructure.

With high school and college sports we take the most reckless, aggressive and violent members of Western Civ and let them vent in ritualized warfare so they don't tear down the world around them.

Jesus. Tyson should have his twitter taken away.

I take his point about spending too long arguing over pointless shit rather than real issues, but the majority of sports fans are fucking idiots anyway who would have nothing interesting to add to society

Duluth, other than that it is farmland and lake cabins. Wisconsin is pretty similar in having a few concentrations of people and the rest wilderness and lakes. Also the UP.
Thank you based glaciers.

Same metroploitan area though. literally seperated by a river and a highway

American football was literally invented because the West and Southwest were pacified and men still felt the need to "prove" their masculinity.
There never was an intersection with engineering or aeronautics.

Wut, American football started in Canada by British expats pissing around whilst playing Rugby League and then some fancy colleges like Yale and Havard started playing it

but I'm from bcn
don't care if a nuke blows up in madrid

Sometimes I wonder if we'd have flying cars by now had normal people spent a little less brain energy stroking their ego on twatter with such pretentious bullshit.

le black science man and Carl Sagan have done more damage to society than good. Prove me wrong.

Protio: You can't
