@@DeliMeatTree That is a major part, overall it is the evil in humans who have seen that educated people are dangerous to their capitalist operation. That's why schools are massively underfunded and the funds go primarily to specific schools to incentivise certain subjects. In low economic areas the schools incentivise sports, while others in higher economic areas focus more on actual education like STEM, which I think is really unfair.

Dr. Sagan, got me INTO Science W A Y Back in 1978/79 with his "Cosmos" series!!! I majored in Biology, minored in Chemistry and Genetics. Got my teaching credential and taught kids from 89 - 12....retired, but Still taught science to kids in 'After school Programs' from 14 - present!!

Complete ignorance of something might be better than half-baked knowlege. Though that of course only applies to those who think that listening to the guys who really know their stuff is a good thing if you don't. Worst are those with a bit of knowledge, especially if they consider a tiny bit enough and get that tiny bit from Fox News.They might come up with ideas like "clean the forest".

@steemlenn8797 I am biased because my knowledge about all subjects is probably super shallow, so I'm gonna have to disagree. I think everyone should have a little bit of knowledge of all things and it is actually a good thing if you know just a little to qeustion and be able to navigate those subjects is a good thing it means that the person is not entirely ignorant so they may be less likely to follow their emotions and may make better choices. However if you make decisions based on inaccurate and incomplete information like in goverment is flawed and can lead to alot of problems. Like what is currently happening in goverment they probably have no knowledge at all about the issues happing in the presenst having corporations controlling the the laws of how to deal with new technologies look at facebook and open ai and that is like a blind person navigating a highway with the passenger giving directions is the passenger giving good directions and is the blind person navigating for the best interest of the passengers in the car.

It’s a shame how politically biased NDT seems to have become recently. It’s a shame because, at first, I appreciated how he followed in the footsteps of Carl Sagan with the Cosmos series and otherwise. But now it seems like he’s one-sided on every topic and dogmatically so. Then again, our whole society has become polarized this way, so it wouldn’t be fair to single Neil out when Carl Sagan isn’t here for a fair comparison. But this excerpt conveys something that I feel is missing today, and it makes me sad more people don’t see it.
