when Marx said that capital was vampire-like he did not know how fucking prescient he was
I tried to alert my company to a guy going around pretending to be an employee to scam people.
I got a phone call from a big dummy who didn't look at the screenshot I had attached, and who was very stern about me NOT giving out private information about employees.
"How did you get his name?" Uhhh it's in the screenshot? On a public website? This person doesn't work for us?
@dankwraith @garfiald See also:
- the statement “planets revolve around the sun” is technically an approximation
- the “scientific method” as taught in public school isn’t how scientific work is actually done
- too many science-lovers idolize individual “gods” of science and spin narratives pitting them against alleged religious prudes
- Science as an elitist institution is different from science as basic human curiosity possessed by everyone
So this one was inspired from one of @dankwraith's posts earlier today about heliocentricism vs geocentricism, because fun fact: the sun isn't even the thing at the centre of the solar system
