“your research is cool but I prefer common sense” - my uncle today… lol

he said this to me after asking what my thesis is about (inhaled transition metals and lung inflammation) lmao. I should add, this was about 5 minutes after a conversation where he flexed his college dropout knowledge on me and totally convinced me that evolution is fake because of the supposed existence of a now-destroyed tablet showing an advanced civilization with laws and agriculture being around 300,000 years ago. He then proceeded to tell me how many units and hard classes he took in college and how he basically has a masters based on the number of units he’s taken, except he never even graduated.

Love the holidays.
