I see a whole lotta people clearly have no idea how massive that cargo ship was, how much momentum it had, and have no idea about marine navigation etc etc, but yet still they have the most certain of opinions about it all. I admire their unearned confidence. Be wrong AND loud.
@SkinnerPm I’ve seen those ships up close in Savannah and the car haulers in Brunswick. They are unbelievably huge.
@SkinnerPm I was at Tybee beach once, near the river. Seeing those ships move up close is something else. You don’t really get a sense of size until you see them up close
@SkinnerPm Sometime the louder they are the more uninformed they are. It’s like a mathematical formula of the internet.
@SkinnerPm Interesting book related to your comment: Think Again by Adam Grant.
@SkinnerPm The louder they are … the wronger (is this a word?) they are!!
@SkinnerPm To quote William Strunk Jr. (as seen in "The Elements of Style"): “If you don't know how to pronounce a word, say it loud!”
@SkinnerPm I think it’s the same people that were pandemic experts, then vaccine experts, then deep undersea exploring experts, then spy balloon experts, then constitutional experts. I could only hope someday to be as smart.
@SkinnerPm Found this image helpful in understanding that cargo ships are HUGE. And that bridge did not stand a chance. x.com/RezekJoe/statu…
