That’s totally fine, but don’t comment on the content of it in that case.

You literally engaged by commenting.

lot of people voting and commenting that didn’t read the article.

You didn’t read the article.

Of course they can. But Stranger Things most definitely is not.

This is an extremely normal and common opinion.

Why are you trying to find consistency in the worldbuilding for this, it’s nonsense. Like, by all means enjoy it for whatever reasons, but logical and consistent lore and narrative is not one of those reasons.

It’s not a different “description”, it’s a fundamentally different set of rules governing how the facts are arrived at.

I mean, this is just factually wrong. Different types of authority are, very obviously, meaningfully different in more than just “backstory”.

The entire Human Behavioural Biology unit lectures at Stanford, by the brilliant Robert Sapolsky, are online and they will change the way you understand yourself and others:

It’ goes into some fairly deep science but is still very accessible, Sapolsky is a brilliant educator. His book Behave is basically these lectures in book form, the audiobook of it is on Spotify.

Honourable mention to Xander.

C’mon man, it’s not a matter of the actors being slightly older than their characters, their appearance is laughably incongruous with the setting. I’m fine with some suspension of disbelief but its incredibly jarring in every scene. It wasn’t an issue I had with the show until this season. Like, they somehow seem to look older than they actually are irl, MBB looks fucking 30 in the show.

The dialogue is fucking awesome

I dunno how to respond to this, the whole thing could have been written by AI it is so basic and by the numbers. Half the scenes are just exposition where they might as well be talking at the camera.

If people are insulting you its because you’re just being pretty obnoxious and childish. It’s easy to get annoyed by someone who is convinced that they are right and everybody else is wrong, especially when they are so obviously wrong.

I mean, I assume you’re a troll? I don’t get offended by trolls. But I engaged with you here on the off chance that you’re not, hoping that you might see some reason. But instead you’ve just doubled down on your own crazy ideas. Like, best of luck to you (if you are indeed genuine), you seem relatively harmless. Try and broaden your horizons, it’ll do you good.

Nobody is taking you seriously enough to get offended.

Ok, I’m having a slow arvo so I’ll throw you a bone and try to explain what’s going on here.

Everything you’ve said here, you talk about as if it is a given that it’s true. e.g. “When you concentrate on a thing you ignore pretty much everything else. Do it enough and that ignoring becomes blindness. And habitual.”. The reason people are laughing at these claims is because its just provably false, at least as an ironclad rule. Most people know people or know of people that this just isn’t the case for. I personally know a bunch of scientists, artists and engineers who are highly successful at their job and also very well rounded people with a wide range of interests. Even if there was some general data on tendencies towards the kind of behaviour you claim, you don’t provide it.

So, the fact that your “unpopular opinion” is based on a fact that basically only you in the entire world believe to be true, means that everyone thinks your post here is nonsense, crazy, a very young child, or trolling. I assume you’ve had some experience with the kind of people you’re talking about, but even if every single person you ever met had this exact characteristic it would still be a hopelessly small sample size to make any claims about the population at large. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof, and you provide exactly zero proof for this extraordinary claim.

Why would I waste my time doing that.

There’s a difference between unpopular and nonsense.

Dude, it is ridiculous! The old-ass actors playing children alone is enough to completely explode any possibility of taking it seriously. Them riding around on the bikes that are now way too small for them is hilarious. I’m amazed anyone is even remotely invested in it.

It is hilariously bad, like, beyond parody. All the kids look 30 and haggard, all the dialogue is just soulless exposition, random people are getting murked with these big emotional cues like we’re supposed to care about this bit part character, its full of product placement so brazen and intrusive that it looks like satire, 11 is doing superhero training montages, there is a straight up hentai tentacle rape scene. It’s like an SNL skit of Stranger Things, it is truly, deeply bizarre and awful on every level.

Get really stoned and watch it as if it is a parody comedy and it kind of works though.
