Spoilers

Adam Sandler gets therapy from a giant time and space fairing psychic spider and comes to the realization that his dreams and his mission to advance human understanding was wrong and should have come second to consoling his wife about her uterus and other mammal instinctual bullshit.

Fuck you, spider. Mental health is important but I personally place the future of mankind much higher on the list. Every moment we delay our intellectual development as a species is another moment of additional pain and suffering on an unimaginable scale.

10/10 worth a watch

I think Interstellar made the opposite statement.
If we want to save humanity, we gotta throw people into black holes.

Yeah and ignore basic ecology that would save humanity by just fucking planting beans and squash in addition to the corn.

Fucking colonizers never learned how to grow corn. Smh.

Wasn't the entire point that disease and blight killed off everything but corn?

[–] delirious_owl@discuss.online -1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

That doesn't make any sense. Disease and blight are caused by mono cropping. Its literally caused by huge fields of corn.

The way you prevent this is with polycultues like the 3 sisters. Something that somehow NASA couldn't figure out

First of all, it's a movie. It's fiction. Secondly, blight and disease are most definitely not "caused" by monocropping. It just exacerbates things.

[–] delirious_owl@discuss.online -1 points 7 months ago

Kinda ruined the whole movie for me. I was just screaming at the screen: WHAT?!? DONT GO TO SPACE, JUST PLANT BEANS AND SQUASH AND FRUIT TREES YOU FUCKING IDIOTS.

I found it very concerning that people are so unaware of how the problems of mechanized monocropping are easily solved by planting traditionoal polycultures that humans have been using for thousands of years.
