Drive Shane Bergen is a cranky, pathetic arsehole. Just imagine opening a science show with that bullshit. Learn self-awareness, or shut the fuck up.
In a recent podcast Jonathan was musing how a life would be meaningless unless he contributed towards the advancement of humanity. please reflect on what an insult this actually is to the vast majority of humanity who mostly live and die in obscurity.
