  • I did enjoy him on parks and rec but I think he’s good at the roles he’s filling, golden retriever comedic relief that can take on action scenes and will be generally liked by the average American.

    He’s no Anthony Hopkins or Daniel Day-Lewis but he’s got general audience pull and that goes back to why they’d cast him as Mario.

















  • This all stems from eroded systems coupled with a lack of good education and our media. Not everyone is listening to him but his messages didn’t become popular overnight. The carnivore diet, raw milk, anti vaccine, anti masking, anti fluoride movements have been bubbling in echo chambers for decades now.

    We’re living that quote from Carl Sagan.

    I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time—when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness.
