Comment on In the last 1000 years we have not advanced as a species. We are just as tribal, dogmatic and reactionary as we always were. Given that scientists are people too, will science save us?

I think your perspective is far too narrow. It’s not science that must save us, science can’t do much in the face of willful ignorance and entitlement.

Just look at global warming, the science has been there since the 70s yet we’re still walking past line after line till we reach points of no return. It’s not about the science it’s about the human element.

Humans themselves are the problem, too divided and focused on wealth and power instead of unity and progress. No fucking shit we haven’t gotten anywhere in the last grand, we’ve been too busy killing/robbing/exploiting each other, and that WILL NEVER STOP.
