With all politician that is from indifferent to outright anti-science view on science lately, I am getting concerned. After all, with right events and decisions, it will only take three generations to undo the science work of many generations.
Now, here's my question. Do you want to be the first generation towards that? One to welcome old kind of life, including both good and bad aspects, you can't have one without other. If not, we really do need to start pushing for better science support. What we have is truly amazing compared to old times. We all literally eat like kings. Sure, current living have problems, but when you really think about it, there have been no era of living without problems.
Think about it. Make decisions as you like it, but think about it.
