       @science_quotes Correction (with apologies to Carl Sagan):  We know that at least 30% of our society knows nothing about science and technology. #MAGA #ScienceDeniers #GOPInquisition #BigotryAndSuperstitions

       @science_quotes "Machines were mice, and men were lions,Once upon a time.But now that it's the opposite,It's twice upon a time."- Moondog.It's not just the disparity in knowledge, but also who owns the means of production.Corporate ownership of the necessities of life is a huge lever of power. No wonder democracy is gasping for its life.

       @science_quotes The problem is, we’re indoctrinated to believe certain aspects of technology are crucial, when they’re not.Can I live without social media? Yep. I’ve already done it for 55 years. Do I really need augmented reality via a virtual reality headset? Nope. A flower or bird can simply be appreciated for its beauty without knowing its species or Latin name. Are smartphones crucial? They’re handy, that’s all. Digital currency? It’s an option, but I can’t store it under my mattress.
