It seems like the administration is trying to discourage travel across the border. Not just people on work visas, tourists and even citizens are reporting being detained. It’s like East Germany or something.
Why would the US need scientists when they have stable geniuses?
AI will fix it.
OpenAI promised us PhD agents! Only 20k a month!
Persona: you are a very phd person
That’s it, I solved it! Put this in your prompt: answer questions as if you were a phd person.
(It may be the same thing as you mentioned above. I don’t know what the Persona is, I don’t really use ai chat bots)
Scientists left nazi germany for the US, now they’ll leave nazi US.
Didn’t Albert Einstein flee Nazi Germany which advanced our research into what became the atomic bomb. Hmm… Should be fun century for USA.
Trump has already dismantled the American empire. The decline will be rapid and terminal. Even if they returned to sanity tomorrow, the damage cannot be undone any time soon. Nobody is going to trust the US again in our lifetimes.
Oh no, all the trust america built up is suddenly gone…
When will america be the worlds best step dad again!
How dare you point out something so relevant and foreboding.
Why is this in the “memes” community? It is not a meme, is it? We should have a general discussion community for topics like these! (if it doesn’t exist already).
Check the sidebar. We use the Dawkins definition of meme here.
In the context of Dawkins meme, this post is definitely a meme!
idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning
If we consider scientists imitating the behavior of other scientists (ex: leaving the us) combined with the social network post (signifying the symbolic meaning), it checks all the correct boxes to me!
Would another peer review my analysis?
Reviewer 2, checking in. Let’s see…
☑️ Technically correct (the best kind of correct).
☑️ Dawkins framework applied… adequately.
☑️ “Symbolic meaning” not entirely reductionist. Surprising.However:
- Citation deficiency detected. [Fossilesque et al., 2023] must be invoked 2–3 times for rigor.
- “Imitating scientists” lacks nuance. Did you consider the Fossilesque Paradox of Academic Exodus? (Spoiler: You didn’t. Cite (Fossilesque, 2024, 2025 in press.).
Verdict:
Pending compliance with adequate attribution. Then, and only then, shall this review ascend to a grudging “pass.”

Yes, and that breeds creativity. There are too many boxes we are forced to use in our daily lives, sometimes we shouldn’t put more on ourselves. Art and science are so sides of the same coin. You can’t be a good scientist without being a bit of an artist. Our art just looks a bit different.
