Only plebs wait in line. I put my request in an envelope, a government servant picks it up at my door and takes it to more government servants who do all the work before hand delivering it back.
And you wait 6 months.
Well I don't plan my trips last minute like some harlot.
This needs one of those bell curve memes.
This dude really is a pompous ass sometimes.
Agreed he can be pompous but I think since he's an astronomer he is making the point that if you were in space and looked at earth you would wonder why are there borders
Because it turns out sociology, anthropology and politics also exist.
If you were in space and looked at Earth you wouldn't see any people.
EDIT: Crap, someone is going to point out that you can see lights at night, aren't they? This thread is for pedants and now I've started a conversation about biomarkers you can see from orbit.
I'm going to point out that you edited without editing.
Next level pedantry.

Yes borders are bullshit, but he really doesn't have to come across all high and mighty about it
Hits the joint "borders man"
This is not interesting.
I'm not saying NDT isn't a smart guy, but yeah he does tend to do that thing a lot where you describe a normal concept in a sort of detached anthropological way so it sounds profound even if it isn't.
If I said the shit that fart smeller says people would literally say “shut up stoner” to me.

You think that's bad? Every April I have to hand the country I live in a bunch of papers with numbers on them just to exist. If I don't, they send men with guns. How crazy is that?
As if humans weren’t fiercely tribalistic forever. Other species beat each other to death, too.
The post may be right, but getting a bunch of homo sapiens from far away not to club each other to death is, historically, a hard problem, and countries and passports are kinda a stepping stone.
Maybe it's because I know autistic people, but NDT's obtuse starry-eyed splaining never triggered me as much as it seems to others.
He's an astrological trapped on a planet. What do you expect
Personally, I find him irksome because I get a strong vibe from him that he thinks of himself as a very smart person, looking down on the intellectual peasants. Part of why I perceive him that way is because this is how I used to think, as an autistic nerd who built much of my identity up around being smart. That's also why behaviour of the sort that shows up on /r/iamverysmart (such as many of NDT's posts) makes me cringe so much.
Dissecting this a bit further, it's not necessarily that I think he thinks he's better than other people — rather the opposite: some of the most intellectually arrogant people I have known are, at their core, deeply insecure and feeling the need to justify their interests by presenting themselves in a certain way.
