Astrophysicist Brian Greene makes an excellent point here, but I’m not holding my breath. In the brief (15-year) period of time since the launch of 2GreenEnergy, our public education standards have continued to deteriorate, while our kids’ interest in science remains feeble.
At the same time, “grown-up” Americans have begun to ridicule the phase “trust the science,” and there is no consensus that public policy should be based on scientific findings. In fact, we just re-elected a president whose support base rejects science as it applies to both environmental stewardship and epidemiology.
Culturally, the U.S. Is Turning Even Further Away from Science
Wonder who this “patriot” voted for.
At left is how I feel about Trumpism. I may be limited in how I can go about preventing it from entering the world, but I’ll be damned if it will happen through me.
What we have at left is a continuation of the discussion: who is more disgusting? Trump or his voters?
It’s an open question.
