Cancer 7,054 Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 In the retreat from Moscow, with two labs left to grade. Plus some inevitable stray miscellaneous papers that were in the wrong piles. Also sent "Hey, have the aliens released you yet?" emails to the two people who were no-shows at the final.

Bazza 4,780 Posted June 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 "We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology." ~ Carl Sagan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pariah 8,301 Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 The expanded version of that quote, from Sagan's book "The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle In the Dark": We've arranged a global civilization in which the most crucial elements — transportation, communications, and all other industries; agriculture, medicine, education, entertainment, protecting the environment; and even the key democratic institution of voting, profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces. tkdguy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
