Orcas are smart. This article suggests it’s not intentional and maybe out of curiosity? Whatever. They figured out how to sink boats without ramming full speed. How much you wanna bet they’re pillaging the sunken ships for food and drinks and stuff. Special little treats that sailboats happen to carry. Or maybe they get pissed off when one of them dumps their lavatory waste or something.

I think a better term to use would be “fact-based policy.” I believe that even if we intended to rework politics to be more scientific, it would just lead to all the same manipulations and twisting of facts that current politics involves. Don’t like a particular scientific consensus because it interferes with your goals? Hire a bunch of “think-tanks” to publish contradictory papers. Hah, guess what, that’s where we already are.

You’re thinking of Matthew McConaghey, but I can totally see how you got that mixed up, LOL
