Has has foreboding been realized?
Breadless Norseman@mnutty reading The Demon Haunted World for the first time a little over a year ago was so incredibly eye opening and painful. He knew what was coming and we failed to stop it.
It feels to me that we have failed to position the scientific mindset as a central element of what it means to be part of Western civilization. As a country we have failed to instill pride in our scientific heritage. I’m not sure what needs to be done to turn this shortcoming around but it seems essential in a time infatuated by implausible conspiracy theories
