I don't even hate Fedoras. They looked cool on Kojak and Dick Tracey.
I know right? Though i'm more pissed at hipsters for the downfall of the fedora :argh!:

One of the funny things about the divide is that many firmly deist/theist thinkers have contributed immeasurably to science, sometimes on the grounds that they figured that God himself came down and revealed Himself and gave a holy MissionTM to figure out His Holy Kludges.

Perfect example. I actually just finished a paper recently on Gustav Fechner. The guy was responsible for for providing the first quantifiable data for the study of human sensation, laid the groundwork for psychology as an experimental science. He also believed in a world soul, attended seances, and connected plants to lie detectors to prove they have a consciousness.

I'm cool with it as long as progress is made.

This is my personal belief.

God built it, set the rules, and left us to play with it.  Figuring out the rules is Holy Business™, and flat-earthers and those who say "there are some things man was not meant to know" are blasphemers and should be given the bastinado with the rebar of correction.

It sounds to me like you're saying science is Holy Business™... accurate?

TRILBY!  I've never seen a hipster wear a fedora.

The trilby must be more of an east-coast thing, I don't think I've ever seen anyone wear one.

Really?  The whole "hat with short brim" (which is essentially all a Trilby is) thing is the hat of choice for young people showing off they stylish creativity in the face of an opressive system while listening to obscure music*.

And basement dwelling tumblrites.  You don't see them though, because, well, basement dwelling, but they sure take a lot of selfies for their OKCupid profile.

The trilby, in my experience, is invariably worn by people who would, without the trilby, look like they were missing a trilby. For that reason alone, it is acceptable.

They're into Fedoras here. People keep talking about Trilbys and I assumed that they look like Fedoras, but they don't. Apparently the youth here actually know the difference. Or maybe stores just don't carry Trilbys here. I've seen people on TV wearing them, but they are not a thing in Portland at all. They look like a thing I would associate with people from New Jersey.

Come to think of it, even Fedoras here are mostly popular in the 35+ set. Youngsters in these parts prefer boater hats, trucker hats, or these ridiculous things:
