So, royal society = meaningless.

[-] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 1 points 47 minutes ago

The key indicator being "Royal"

[-] BrikoX@lemmy.zip 61 points 7 hours ago

That just proves that Royal Society stands for nothing and should be treated as irrelevant.

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 13 points 7 hours ago

Anything with Royal in the name should be treated as irrelevant.

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 hours ago

Nope, just because the name is archaic does not mean that the institution is irrelevant.

[-] whatwhatwhatwhat@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

I think the operative word is should. It should be irrelevant (or renamed).

The Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden is one of our best schools for higher education, why should it be treated as irrelevant just because of it's name?

[-] whatwhatwhatwhat@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

I was just trying to be funny. Like imagine if they called it “The Irrelevant Institute of Technology”.

Also thinking about royal jelly found in bee hives being renamed “irrelevant jelly”. Or a royal flush in cards being renamed an “irrelevant flush”.

Edison defeats Tesla, et al.
