I was intentionally against science because I kept hearing how they used back then was alot like 15 million to measure the milk enzymes in a cows hair and other stupid stuff. But I have changed.

    A lot of people think like you used to. Also, plenty actively don’t want citizens to be smarter, whtether they say that out loud or not. The former are generally the ones voting in the latter. Because people who question what you say don’t necessarily go along with you. They just want people to believe what they say, no questions asked.

      What is always burnt into my mind is I think it was NDT who showed a dollar bill and used a red pen/marker and the amount that goes to nasa and scientist. But as a society we cannot invest in scientific groups to better society. We just throw money at these corps and expect results. But that money goes from top down. Trust me I know it’s why I lied on my taxes for like 10 years and gave the money to my uncle who is a safety coordinator. The thing is I don’t get is how he went from a pepsi saleman/deliver for 15 years to nasa. And how they gave him a safety coordinator job.
