To be somewhat fair, I’m in the privileged position of being able to be sarcastic about a branch of science that I have no practical experience with whatsoever, all from the comfort of an app I type into using just my thumb. This is the kind of advancement that, a hundred years ago, would have been seen as merely impossible, and five hundred years ago or more would’ve gotten a person burned at a stake.

I can criticize anything I want, but my criticism (all things being equal) is very probably flawed and unwarranted. If I’m going to be sarcastic, I’d better be aware of how insignificant I am relative to the universe I find myself in.
