Putting science in the hands of the masses (more specifically uneducated minorities) was the worst mistake Western society ever made. Prove me wrong.
Science is Dead
Fuck off.
Science hasn't really been put in the hands of the masses, but the vectors for transferring that information has been radically multiplied. Real science is still being done, it's just that idiots voice their opinions on it.
There's plenty of funding for scientists. Our failure as a society to be scientific is mostly just a failure to actually listen to the scientists we have.
We don't need any more scientists, and we could easily cut science funding by 90% and still be better off if we just fucking paid attention and listened to the remaining 10% of scientists who still had jobs after the cut.

>Normies can't into science, so an entertainment franchise has sprung up catering to normies by offering them "science" as agenda.
this is what ((((they)))) wanted. public education is designed to make fools of us.
Clever fools. Look at the monkey, he can pull the levers in all the right order. What a clever fool.
Does he ever wonder who made the levers, why he pulls them, and what the ultimate result of his labor is?
Well, if pulling the lever make the monkey feel good, why would he ever stop? It's painful to think about.
>science funding at an all time high
>innovation occurring at a faster pace than at any other point in history
>stigma that scientists are deranged, potentially dangerous wizards has diminished
>scientists and engineers have more prestige than ever before
I'd say there is a much stronger argument that science has been strengthened by diversity and mass communication.
that monkey seems to have a rather nice life though... I would like to be one of those monkeys (assuming im not being one right now)
