I mean, we see the exact same uncertainty all the time in real-world applications of the hard sciences as well.

Weather prediction, for example, is still just as inexact a science as macroeconomics in its application, even though it's entirely physics-driven and we have a pretty complete understanding of each of the variables involved on a theoretical level. The system is just complex and chaotic enough that understanding the theory of weather doesn't mean that we can successfully model the real-world behavior of weather.

This doesn't mean that we should conclude that all theory relating to weather is incorrect - that would we throwing the baby out with the bathwater - it just means we still have a ways to go when modeling the real-world complexities that come with the theory.

Star Wars. My highest-ranked movie that isn't usually on these lists is Stardust, at number 3, following The Matrix at number 2.

Boomer minion meme vibes.

Warning labels aren't helpful when they're intentionally misleading. That's kinda the entire point.

So anything you can mix up in water that doesn’t dissolve and it stays suspended is “milk”.

Not to consumers, which is ultimately the only thing that should matter when making decisions on how food should and should not be labeled.

It only took one time for me ruining a pizza with congealed palm oil deliberately masquerading as "mozzarella cheese" to be 100% on big dairy's side here.

If it's not an animal product, it shouldn't be labeled "milk" or "cheese"

That point didn't need to be made in the first place because Steve already specifically noted that it was auctioned for charity in his video.

To me, this is just evidence that Linus didn't even watch the video.
