>tfw you hire a bunch of crusty, old, orthodoxian shitheads to interpret ayyy religious symbology that is so far out of their depth that they might as well be attempting to go snorkeling in the mariana trench

I'm sure they'll figure it out. And by 'it', I mean their own derpidity.

I think you seriously underestimate the intellectual fluency of a theologian; spiritual or faith-based thinking and context aside, they're mandated a serious course of philosophy study before even touching the theological stuff, and like it or not have historically driven so much of the advancement in the intellectual sphere of the Western world. Regardless of whether you or I respect them, they are the fitting choice for NASA's job. Hiring a philosopher, a psychologist, or an anthropologist, like another anon pointed out, each comes with their own limitations.

I have no doubt they're 'qualified'. That's not the point I'm getting at. I'm saying their type of thinking or mentality through which they view everything is far too standard and typical, and what NASA should be looking for (if they had any sense) is nonstandard and atypical thinkers. Like a neurodivergent emergent. That's a good way to put it.
