Spoke to a scientist friend today and asked him about Trump’s anti-science campaign & his attacks on universities?
He replied, I don’t think Americans realize that even if we somehow stopped Trump now, he’s already set the USA back at least 20-30 years in scientific research. And given he still has 3 more years, we may not recover from this for half a century or more.
This Economist data is from 6 months ago. You can imagine how much worse it is now.😳
In the #ThreeBodyProblem, the aliens prior to invading earth, stop human science, primarly basic research, prior to invasion...
...Has anyone tried to pull off the space-latex-skinsuit from the entity we know as tRump?
@n_dimension @QasimRashid I think there's something to that; at the start of Trump's first term I kept flashing back on the Men in Black scene where the alien peels off his skin suit and thinking "that's what's inside..."
Since day one of this term it's been clear to me that the damage to science, research, education, everything America has excelled at, will be incalculable, setting us back for far longer than Joe McCarthy managed with his wrecking ball.
