Does anyone else think scientific jargon is just too much?

Man is it a suffering to read through walls of scientific jargon and page filler, when did the sciences become a weird political arena?

Say it simply. It hits people.

People often use jargon as a symbol - that they are part of something, usually. Many academics are unable to communicate clearly - they use language again as a symbol to advertise their intelligence.

I don't want to show off my vocabulary or send signals. I want to influence. So Plain English is very powerful and usually all that's needed.

Well put! I won't sully it by trying to expand on it.

I think the world will transform soon, I have a strong intuition it will. The internet provides an infinite set of possibilities, and I'm only beginning to discover its potential.

I think many people lightly believe that but haven't had the chance to discover that for themselves.

The internet I believe is still a key to solving many problems that people face, in education, meaningful communication, I think it will continue to evolve, creating spaces for humanity to expand into itself as it hasn't ever had the opportunity before.

I've discovered an entire quantum reality right underneath my own through almost exclusively YouTube alone, I've connected with physicists and writers to share plausible theories I've begun, all in the span of a few months.

It's 2:30am and I'm not completely sure what I'm getting at, but I hope you're as excited as I am!
