'Tragically, though, the volumes of invaluable knowledge gathered over centuries are now threatened by an epidemic of dumb f—ing idiots saying dumb f—ing shit' - George Clooney WednesdayWisdom
George Clooney took time away from his busy schedule as an Academy Award–winning actor, director and tequila entrepreneur to, once again, wade into the political fray and address what he described as “rampant dumbf—ery” during a visit to “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Tuesday night.
“Science has given us unprecedented knowledge of the natural world, from subatomic particles to the majesty of space,” Clooney said in the skit. “Science enables us to cure diseases, to communicate across great distances... even to fly.” ‘Tragically, though, the volumes of invaluable knowledge gathered over centuries are now threatened by an epidemic of dumb f—ing idiots saying dumb f—ing shit.’ From there, Clooney, that quintessential Hollywood liberal, cut to a clip of Sen.
Clooney has been an outspoken critic of the Trump administration, which he once described as a “a dark cloud hanging over our country.” The actor launched into an endorsement of an organization devoted to battling an affliction that’s “infecting the minds of even the most stable geniuses: United to Defeat Untruthful Misinformation and Support Science, or UDUMASS.
Contributions, he joked, go toward convincing “idiots on Facebook FB, -0.12% and Twitter TWTR, -0.10% ” that climate change exists, that parents should vaccinate their kids and that “dinosaurs existed but not at the same time as people.” Shawn Langlois Shawn Langlois is an editor and writer for MarketWatch in Los Angeles.
