Patrick is intellectually lazy, he does not research shit ever, science related or in general.
For example, no normal person would ever install their fence backwards, the would spend 10 minutes googling "Milwaukee fence" before starting.
Compare his interviews about his books or his panels to someone like Douglas Adams who talks about different ideas and scientific concepts constantly in every appearance i have seen him in.
Fatso talking is essensially a coping session trying to convince himself he is not a retarded fat faggot, there is fucking zero scientific thinking or intellectual curiosity going on behind the curtain. Everything he knows about science is outdated information he gathered while growing up and watching television while eating alone in the house.
I bet the happiest day of his life was when he was invited on television to talk about the aTalkers and stupid shit like that. He could maintain the smart guy facade by just saying "i am a sci fi author" and talk about the shit he actually cares about, drama. Look how much more eloquent he becomes when he talks about that compared to science.
The only meat he will ever produce hangs from the ceiling in his basement
