    People throwing up because an anthropologist got 20$ to study the affect of anything on society then just hand a couple billion so these folks can figure out another half a particle that doesn't do anything except be part of other particles.

      If Anthropology had Particle Physics money we could build an atlatl big enough to kill cities and hold the world ransom until they read one goddamn ethnography about the effect of capitalism on literally anyone.

          There's an article floating around demanding an end to anthropology conventions on climate grounds. The reasoning is that flying everyone to one place is expensive, causes pollution, and is often inaccessible and we could do better using modern technology like video comms.

              It's America. People can't afford to take four to five days just for travelling to and from the event.

              If we had high-speed cross country rail you'd be spot on.
