“We've arranged a society based on #science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science and technology. This combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces.”

- Carl Sagan, in his last interview to Charlie Rose https://charlierose.com/videos/9094

@Sheril his book "The Demon-Haunted World" goes into detail on his concerns about this subject, and his hopes that we would overcome our ignorance. It's a great book - one of my favorites - but I do think he'd be saddened to see the current state of affairs in the US with regards to understanding basic science and reasoning.
