The Webb telescope, what is it good for? Absolutely nothin’ y’all. Say it say it again….absolutely nothin’….huh. Now that we’ve seen the images sent back from the Webb for a few months I think it’s time someone spoke up and declared the whole dealio a waste of money. Ok, I’ll give the people props who built it, it is an incredible feat of engineering but beyond that what’s the point? Here’s my argument. This from the Northrop-Grumman website that built the telescope: {By extending our knowledge of the cosmos, the Webb telescope will help us answer the compelling questions, “how did we get here?” and “Are we alone?”} Right, and our brains have the capacity to digest those concepts?
Hey gang, let’s be honest we are pretty much doing what we want to do here on Earth and adding in the idea that there might be other living beings out there or how all this started is just going to make us either frightened or seem really dumb with the way we are today. If other beings arrive on this planet it’s over, it will freak the sh.t out of us and we won’t be able to think straight again and that’s if they don’t start vaporizing us altogether. And learning how the universe began? Puhleeze. Look around, here’s the day, people Airdropping nudie pics on airplanes, Tik Tok vids showing people doing stupid pranks, hearing about whatever the f..k the Kardashians are doing and waiting for taco tuesdays. I don’t think learning about the cosmos fits into our bebopping lifestyle that we’ve honed here on planet E. Sh.t, the release of the McRib is a big freakin’ deal now. So let’s cut the crap on how this going deep into space is somehow going to change how we think. Let’s just take 9/11. After the attack we were all united as one country and we got along….for about 6 weeks and then we just went right back to taking sides and drawing lines and throwing our anger around at each other, not at some designated foreign enemy. We just want good WiFi and have our order come out right in the drive-thru and hope that the conveyor belt at the supermarket doesn’t have a wet spot when we put our groceries on it. Me? I’ve got to go now because Family Feud is on. Great show. And hey, Steve Harvey might ask a question about a Black Hole. Can’t wait to hear the answer.

Gunga, galunga
