Gee, thanks, Einstein.
It was Daffy Duck, not Bugs, in “What Makes Daffy Duck.” (He says it around 5:36)
“trump” will take on a whole new meaning
The term “trump card” will mean you cheated with out even hiding it.
there is a card game streamer called Trump - who I recall was only vaguely aware of Donald Trump when picking the name and I think was like “well if anyone’s looking for him and finds me - so be it!”
Funny how that turned out
Our thinking can be so twisted by religion. Imagine someone long ago wants to build a really tall tower. Nobody knows engineering, material science, etc. They just start stacking rocks on top of each other like they do when they made short buildings. Eventually it’s so tall and heavy that it’s no longer stable, one side sinks into the ground, and the whole thing falls over. And what’s their takeaway? Is it about learning from their mistake and trying again? No, it’s “God is punishing your hubris!” Religion just poisons the mind.
Builder: “I’m not incompetent! Uh… God didn’t want it to happen. Yeah, that’s it; the collapse definitely wasn’t my fault at all!”
I bet a lot of religious tenets come from a lie that got way the fuck out of hand.
That, and accurate observations that they couldn’t correctly explain. For example, prohibiting eating pork because it’s “unclean,” while having no clue about trichinosis. They don’t know (scientifically) how to mitigate it, so they just tell people it’s a sin.
