I Really Hate When People Mystify Intelligence As Some Innate Or Supernatural Ability Rather Than The

I really hate when people mystify intelligence as some innate or supernatural ability rather than the willingness to read books and consider different perspectives. Anyone with enough time, training, and preparation could become a professor. Stop seeing knowledge as arcane rather than as a skill anyone can develop.

“Those who dwell, as scientists or laymen, among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life. Whatever the vexations or concerns of their personal lives, their thoughts can find paths that lead to inner contentment and to renewed excitement in living. Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.”

— Rachel Carson, The Sense of Wonder

that’s my girl 😌😌 (2nd favorite journalist from this time period)

I think that her book/interview with Hitler ranks up there with one of the best nonfiction journalistic books of WWII/Great Depression. I think a lot of people criticize her for calling him a “little man” without realizing that on paper in the 1930s it was easier to predict that Hitler was nothing more than an egotistical little man. Like it was kind of hard to see this coming from the earlier stages of Germany. From a critical perspective, it was easy to call off his behavior as ridiculous, we all would if we were in these early stages of his time period and didn’t know what was to come. Unfortunately, so many people did not know what was going to happen. It’s hard and complex to understood the psychological desperation of the German people and whatever was going on there.

Just my perspective towards Dorothy Thompson’s analysis of the Nazi Regime and the hate that she usually gets for predicting that Hitler’s ridiculous behaviors wouldn’t go far. Anyways, very early on she realized her mistake and published many articles opposing Nazism, also her article Who Goes Nazi? is super well-written.

So from a prospective journalism major I don’t support any hate towards her. There was nothing she could do to prevent WWII anyways.

btw sorry if you guys don’t wanna read a tumblr post about Hitler at like 7 am, I’m doing an article commentary on normative transgressions according to the Evers typology, so global politics has been on my mind a lot sorry

I found this randomly and was hit with a wave of memories because For All Mankind is actually a pretty interesting show. And I’ve heard news that Apple TV is filming a season 5 that will be released somewhere in late 2025 so what a great time to bring it up again✨.

Like I used to be somewhat interested in it, I watched a bit of it, and it was my go-to answer for when well-meaning people asked what I like to watch because “I like the j edgar movie” is a little off-putting. (it’s hard to convince people that you like the show but you don’t like the actual historical figure in the show with is totally fair).

No I do not know the entire lore and backstory of For All Mankind but I just really admire the cinematography and how the story is structured like the creators reached a wide audience due to their pure dedication to this show 😭

For All Mankind - 1x10 - Forgive me but from the outside looking in you have it pretty good. You’re married to an astronaut. The whole country worships you. Sitting there in your big, beautiful living rooms, listening to your husbands in space on your squawk boxes. So if you’re looking for someone to feel sorry for you, just don’t look here. There are a lot of people who don’t have–I’m sorry. Everything going on the past couple of days, I… It’s okay.
