this is vaguely related to the string theory related post from a day or two ago, it's all bazinga science folks TL;DW string theory is a big thing because people that read pop science really liked it and it took a long time for physicists to come out in force and say "this is untestable garbage"

    And Dan Harmon is the good one. He did a big project of apologizing for having being am alcoholic racist serial abuser that got to the top in Hollywood. He seems to be genuinely repentant and trying to do as much good as he can without risking his position on top of the pile. Which is insufficient, but way more than anyone else in his position has tried so it is weird to see.

        It is possible he has, I wouldn't know. I don't think it would really change anything if he did though.

                I don't think he could make those changes is what I am saying. I am saying of him personally. You are correct in an ideal case. However, hypocrisy is an option in real life.

                    I agree with you completely. He could simply do better. We are speculating on odds. Of which I am not as optimistic as you.

                    If I was in a position to try to talk the man into a more just course of action it might matter, but in these particulars it does not
