well yeah i have a pet hydra and it only has one head. i'm not going to cut its head off just to make it look cooler, you asshole. that's seriously unethical. and i'm not letting you cut its head off either. if you really want a hydra with multiple heads, you should go for a rescue- but if you want your pet to look cooler at the cost of its physical health, maybe you shouldn't get any kind of pet at all. no, the hydra's not for guarding my evil tower, it's my pet. have you ever heard of a pet? like a puppy or a kitty? you think i can't defend my evil tower by my self?
in a tough bind where the right wing thinks academia is a communist hivemind and books are demonic artefacts that degenerate the soul of the christian citizen, but the popular response to that is to argue the ivory tower is our only hope in society and scientists are sacred morality wizards that single-handedly inoculate the ignorant hog public from descending into fascism and disease. and if you try to disagree with either of these bleak visions of the world you get called a marxist (antisemitism edition) or an anti-intellectual
probably tomorrow i'm gonna somehow be more organized and disciplined than i ever have been in my whole life so i'm fine probably
