Yes, the use of one's brain always comes at the expense of one's manhood.  Very good.

draw your own conclusions.

Climate change is a hoax, guys.  These cancellations due to radical weather increasing in recent years is just a blip.  I swear.

Yep, it's not like the climate has always been in a constant state of change or anything. Kind of like the mile thick ice sheet that covered the very spot in which I am now sitting some 10,000 years ago. I'm sure that having 80 degree temps every summer was still the norm then also. 

It’s like some people think planning a major college football game is like planning a neighborhood barbecue.

Yeah no kidding. I don't think people realize just how hard planning to BBQ really is.

Submitting fully to an ideology that other people came up with is the exact opposite of using one's brain.

Ignoring the main frowned-upon-here thrust of this point, this seems like a bit illogical.
It implies using our brain is most highly is achieved by questioning everything. Wouldn't trusting expertise also be a good use of our brains? Like I submit to the fact that something Badge tells me about his field of engineering is very likely correct. We wouldn't argue me being skeptical of him on engineering topics is using my brain. 
Now I suppose we pick and chose. If Badge was being paid handsomely by a company being sued over a building falling down, and he came out and said the company didn't do anything wrong, I'm in a weird spot. I trust his expertise, but understand he has powerful motivations to do a certain thing. (To be clear, I believe Badge is very scrupulous and almost assuredly would not do such a thing)
Just a thought.

I see what you are getting at. But you ignore the possibility that badge could be some sorta secret evil mad scientist who puts up a front of being a generally a good and decent fellow in order to gain your trust, and then use you as a pawn in his various dastardly schemes. In that case you'd be a fool to just blindly trust everything he tells you regarding engineering as though it were gospel.

Nah. It's pretty hard to argue math and physics. Most of that is "gospel" and/or proven. My philosophy on certain things are mine, although there are many who share them. For example, If you don't want a house that would be suspect to flood damage, don't build in a spot that relies on man-made "protections". Those "protections" always end up losing out to Mother Nature. Always.
