Ignorance is fine -- it is an unfortunate fact that nobody can learn it all. But to think that one is "engaging" in science -- I suppose most fans of the Page think they're somehow engaging in it (anecdotal) -- is, well, wrong.

As much as I'd like it to be true, looking at a bunch of .gifs about quantum mechanics and astrophysics plastered with white majuscules does little for one's understanding of science. In other words, IFLS is to the scientific community as r/atheism is to the religious-sceptics community (not the best analogy...).

The problem here is willful ignorance, what a person does when confronted by fact. There's probably a lot of antivaxers new-age woo believers and homeopaths who enjoy the fashionable "quantum" quips but have zero interest in doing anything but republishing the images. They ape the language, but don't understand the mindset.
