You can't sit at my lunch table anymore.

There are a lot of jerks in the science fiction community. I don't think I'm throwing open any windows to say that. I don't know whether it's a field that attracts jerks (the self-labeling "elite"); I'm inclined to believe it's more a matter of exposure. When you predict the future, you show the inside of your heart.

Nevertheless, it makes me angrier when science fiction writers are stupid than when the general population is stupid. I hold us to a higher standard, because come on.

I'm patting myself on the back real hard today because I told an extremely self-satisfied luddite he's saying idiot things, but did not say "you're so self-righteous you might as well be an antivaxxer."

Patting real hard.
