A Tik Tok about someone who ‘is not on this planet to be a [STEMmer]’ and is here to “f-ck sh-t up” (FSU) was one of the funniest proclamations I’ve heard. While laughing, I realized that people really do not know what scientists, techies, engineers, mathematicians and doctors have done. While intending to do good, we sometimes really FSU.

We FSU so you all can vibe by…

Flying into space with a former online bookseller- Space Travel, which is the new Columbus explorations.

Fixing your ugly by completely transforming your nose, chin, lips, hips, thighs, calves- Plastic Surgery, which must be the new psychotherapy.

Updating your oldness by manipulating a toxic nerve agent- Botox because it’s definitely better to use a needle to set in paralysis instead of eating badly canned food.

Living without bacteria eating you inside out- Antibiotics, which is the new, well nothing, it just messes up your entire microbiota so you can’t eat ice cream without having diarrhea for the rest of your life. 

Breathing without viruses mangling your lungs- Vaccines, which is actually not f’d up.

Having babies without using your body- Surrogacy, which is the new indentured servitude.

Making babies without making it- IVF, which is the new eugenics.

Getting back at your enemies by splitting atoms- Nuclear Weapons, which is the all time campaign to Just Not Do It.

Bottom Line:

Not every invention, finding or innovation is great for an individual or society. But you all wanted these things. So, vibe away.
