irritation
i used to get really irritated when someone said something dumb like, it's cold/hot here today therefore global warming is/isn't happening. i mean sheehs. how can people stand to be so ignorant? course i wonder how people can stand to be obese. loose fat hanging off my frame feels gross. no idea how obese people put up with it. i feel the same way about not understanding something. i just wonder how people cope in modern society lacking fundamentals of basic science and mathematics. sheehs. then i had an epiphany. now i still get irritated. but at us scientists. it's our job to educate people. to teach them how to think critically. if they can't then we've failed.
