  • It is 100% capitalism's fault. Those scientists are doing a job because we live in a society that necessitates having one to meet our basic needs.

    We don't know their individual lives or circumstances that could be forcing them to take on that position, but we do know that those circumstances only exist due to the overarching system, i.e. the capitalist economy, they live under.

    Your take is grade-school level simplistic that just assumes they simply have to be bad people instead of understanding the complexities of systemic forces that dictate our society.

    Please, for the love of God, learn to look beyond the surface of something and learn why things are the way they are instead of just assuming nonsense.

  • None of it was because the scientists thought that dinosaurs were amphibians. In the lore of the books, DNA from reptiles, avians, and amphibians were used to fill in gaps in the dino DNA.

    The book explains that the DNA used to fill those gap was chosen specifically for certain traits that would make for more attractive or durable creatures for the theme park, highlighting how what was being done "in the name of science" actually had nothing to do with any real scientific progress or discovery.

  • Sam Neill, the actor who did the scene, has been asked about the scene before and confirmed it is 100% unintentionally foreshadowing.

    It was just supposed to confirm that Grant is in fact a Luddite who struggles with tech of all sorts.

  • It is bad science because there’s no reason to be doing the science at all

    This just rounds itself back to capitalism being the problem because the science was being done for a reason: to generate profit for Hammond.

    Bad science is usually always conducted to suit the ends of someone trying to use the results for manipulative/exploitative purposes.

  • Majority of people rarely engage with any media beyond the surface to actually analyze it and come to those conclusions about the deeper themes. Most just think "well, that's just people being people" and fail to see the social commentary.

  • In the books, and movie iirc, they used DNA from all three, not just frogs, to replace missing segments of the dino DNA.

    It was just that Dr.Grant guessed at it being amphibian DNA that had the unintentional side effect of allowing some of the dinos to change sex (which is a thing called sequential hermaphroditism) when he finds the velociraptor eggs.

  • Things is, true revolutionary effort is far from exciting or interesting.

    It's literally just getting involved in local politics and forming lobbying groups with like minded people. It's boring shit getting together with your local community to bitch about what needs to be done, how y'all will acquire the resources to get it done, and delegate who is going to do it.

    Yet, that's how all of society functions. The biggest issue with today's society is how isolated from this process people are. We go to work and go home without ever being involved in the things that control our workplaces and homes.
