What Seneca said here is as true today as it was 2000 years ago.

When I was a boy, I predicted that the advancements of science would eventually put an end to religion, but it appears I was wrong.

Dwindling educational standards and pounding levels of propaganda have brought us to the point that 42% of Americans reject the scientific finding that human activity is causing climate change. These are probably the same idiots who believe that that vaccinations are dangerous.
