WATCHING ‘RYAN GOSLING STARS AS RYAN GOSLING’ ‘I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE’ REVIVALISM FILM ‘PROJECT HAIL MARY’ (2026) WITH A LATINA WOMAN

Noticed ‘Project Hail Mary’ (called derisively by some ‘Project Reddit’) was available on streaming. Saw it described as a Neo-‘Scientism’ film in the sense of it is thematically very ‘I Fucking Love Science’ but where the ‘Scientism’ here is ‘Scientism’ in a not massively woke way. Andy Weir Hard Science ‘Scientism’ where the author is too much of a sperg about making sure all ‘The Science’ is correct to care about properly getting into the weeds of social commentary and where the mostly upbeat plot is basically just the main character ‘doing science’ to ‘solve science puzzles’. I’m a big sucker for this kind of techno-optimism, I’m not embarrassed to admit I do actually ‘Fucking Love Science’

Suggested to Latina ‘friend’ and she perked up and said “yeah of course let’s watch it, actually I’ve seen it at the cinema twice already I really liked it I want to watch it again”. Thought ‘huh’? No offence to her she is sweet if a little ditzy but did wonder what was wrong with either her or ‘Project Hail Mary’ that she went to the cinema to see it twice. TLDR enjoyed the film but wouldn’t pay to see it twice, also I don’t have a vagina either. Strange

Film stars Ryan Gosling as himself which is great casting because Gosling does borderline Reddit but not full-on Reddit really well, you know he has enough charisma to float above ‘Reddit-ness’ even if a lot of his mannerisms are Reddit-coded. This casting prevents the film - despite Weir’s Reddit tendencies - from ever becoming properly Reddit, it has a lot of Reddit moments but Gosling as himself means it escapes full ‘Reddit-dom’. Contrast vs if Ryan Reynolds had been cast instead

With ‘Scientism’ in general it’s easy to descend into ‘Reddit-ness’, to get too excited and prematurely ejaculate a load of insipid moralisms into it. This is a shame because I am very pro pro-science messaging. I mean science here in the proper hard empiricism sense - Bacon, Kuhn, Feyerabend etc. Basically Fine Carl Sagan ‘Scientism’ descended into New Atheism ‘Scientism’ descended into the mess that was popular culture in the 2010s, then the COVID debacle too… ended up tarnishing ‘Science’ as a brand. ‘Science’ has been in need of a proper revival since

Plot is the sun and every other star within a few hundred light years is being eaten by space bacteria so Gosling has to go into space to the one star nearby that isn’t being eaten by space bacteria in order to find out why. When Gosling arrives he discovers spooky aliens have also traveled there for the same reason; their home star is being eaten by space bacteria too. Build-up to the alien reveal has a dash of cosmic horror about it, the interior of their ship is aesthetically a bit ‘I Fucking Love Science’ “uh actually intelligent life probably isn’t going to be humanoid it’s probably going to be Truly Alien” (fractals made of xenon, the air is ammonia etc) but it still manages to be tasteful ‘Alien’ alien

Single surviving occupant is revealed to be a rock alien Gosling names ‘Rocky’. Unfortunately it turns out Rocky’s species is a Reddit species - he talks and acts like a Redditor, is unambiguously Reddit in conception. Latina found the Rocky character hilarious, kept laughing out loud at him. Not even at the sometimes bordering Reddit-escape velocity quite sweet funny dialogue bits, at like the bits where he would be walking around and slip on a banana skin, at the very Minions-esque spiritually Indonesian parts of the character. Rocky is kind of cute to be sure but he isn’t laugh out loud funny - that and all the parts where she didn’t really seem to understand the ‘Space Is Really Fucking Big Science 101 Science’ to be honest I was starting to get the ick

Overall, some Reddit moments (esp. Rocky) but on balance a mostly not-Reddit film. Promising move towards a post-Reddit ‘I Fucking Love Science’ ‘Science’Image

Probably difficult to always avoid pro-Science content descending into ‘sub-Reddit-dom’ just because a lot of the people involved are going to be by disposition a little Reddit, ‘nerdy’ as we used to say. Don’t think the existence of Carl Sagan necessarily entails Bill Nye though Image
She liked the colours and the funny minion noises the aliens made Image

‘Boriswave’ goes from ‘Online Right’ term to full Wikipedia page. Originally the Wikipedia editors had refused to create a page for it because of its ‘Online Right’ origins but the term was being used so much in politics and the media that their hand has now been forced
They include this part at the end of the article to emote about how upset they are about the article existing Image
A better explanation of the ‘Boriswave’ can be found in this 2024 post

Very deep recurring longing for ‘Anglo-Peronism’ in the British psyche that needs to be constantly guarded against. Really represents Argentina’s final revenge against Britain; the Peronist brainworm - many people by instinct will support some version of it without any safeguards Image
Really in it for the long game, Argentina. Go time on the Falklands if these lines intersect in the near future Image

Are you a fan of this kind of ‘Neo-Native American Nativism?’ Given most illegal immigrants are Latinos it actually makes most operations ICE’s Native American Unit is involved in Neo-pre-Columbian conflicts Image
Fun ‘Autism Brain’ idea to create a hunting and tracking unit composed entirely of Native groups, real ‘bug-collecting’ type initiative you could imagine a Prussian monarch like Frederick II doing. See also the ‘Eskimo Scouts’ - an elite unit composed entirely of Inuit groups Image
Image
DID YOU KNOW? At one point the elite Native American ‘Shadow Wolves’ unit trained members of the Polish border guard. The Poles are presumably then deploying Sioux and Navajo hunting and tracking techniques against Syrians, Eritreans and Afghans along the Belarusian border Image

Chindian even less of convincing deracinated modern identity than Wasian or Blasian. The Chindian Israel is just Nepal. Actually, it’s East India if you count that region given it is already in India. You are Nepalese, you are Assamese, you will take birthright trips to Manipur Image
These new Bay Area identities are becoming increasingly absurd. If you have started to identify as Chindian in recent months because you saw this meme identity on your reels you are advised to take a ‘time out’ in a traditional Nepalese menstruation hut Image
DID YOU KNOW? The East Indian ‘Ahom Kingdom’ had a policy of deliberately creating ‘Chindians’ in order to assimilate new groups into its empire? ‘Ahomisation’ was the process of mixing with newly acquired peoples in order to bring them into the Ahom cultural fold
