Yea, well, unfortunately around here it really doesn't seem like "the masses"
have any interest whatsoever in science, or anything of substantial cognitive worth.

They don't have any interest, which is why its my task to show them why they SHOULD be interested! It might not happen right away, but I will keep at it. If I post quality interesting material, maybe I won't be rewarded right away, maybe I won't be rewarded ever. However a reward isn't the end goal of anyone who truly loves science, it's spreading knowledge. If a few people learn something because of my posts, then I have done a good thing.
