Positive Vibes: There Are Still Super Smart People Like Dr. Amy Mainzer Out There

It’s Monday, you’re probably tired, likely hung over still from the weekend. Probably feeling like you’ve been hit by a comet. Maybe you’re feeling like it’s the end of the world. If you follow the news, go on Twitter or Reddit, that feeling will only be compounded. The world can seem like its full of a ton of hateful, moronic people, which is highlighted well in the movie Don’t Look Up (look below).

But now the positive part – there are still a ton of really smart people out there like Dr. Amy Mainzer. I know what you’re thinking, ‘Of course there are smart people out there Buddy, we’ve obviously listened to your guys podcast and read your blogs.’ While we’re flattered by the hundreds of compliments we receive daily, we’re not exactly rocket scientists (although we pretty much are after watching the video below).  But in all seriousness, I saw this video awhile back and it stuck with me and does give real hope:

I always thought our best way to defend against an incoming asteroid/comet was to send oil drillers to space armed with nukes. I thought Armageddon was a documentary (like I said we’re brilliant).

But it is good to know there are smart people out there that have our backs. Keep your chin up, Do Look Up, and let’s have a great week.
