I don't even see it as pub talk.  But I don't really go to pubs, pandemic or not, so I wouldn't know.
Philosophy is motivational to me:  Why the hell should I grab a cup of coffee and give a damn about problem X?   What bloody difference does it make?

Ha! I don't know why that's *damning*. I think it should be clear that FriAM isn't scientific, but peri-scientific, similar to a pub. It's a little less pub-like in that we sporadically link to data and argue about data ... which is more difficult in a pub, even with smartphones everywhere. Now had you included the sentence: "Etiquette is what has created the modern world.", THEN THAT would be damning. 8^D
