paternal sense and intuitiveness are learned and diffcult to deal with when you live within any capitalistic world, The FDA is bullshit and why you have chemicals in your food, freedom in speech haas everything to do with being controlled by the defensive stance to any pretended knowledge such as IE God is real which is not true.

I don't mean to objectify her appearance, and I'm listening to these because she's a good lecturer, but when I clicked on this I couldn't help myself. That hat is adorable.
-
@GibbonJabber well well, let us leave our dear professor alone :) everyone has the right to wear anything so long as it does not offend anybody, right?
-
Why the silly hat? I presumed it was a gimmick that would be revealed at the end, but nothing happened.

Great course, even better hat.

That's just a guess at what I feel that many reading here surmise to be the message. Analogy, not necessarily prioritizing the anthropomorphism you feel that she is using to possibly condemn science in the manner of a close minded individual.
