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.
Tack onto this the fact that we have these insane billionaires and oligarchs across the planet who actively purchase big media and control narratives, working to keep the people divided and distracted. It’s not an accident.
With all that said, there is hope especially when it comes to science and my example with global warming, but will we see it reach fruition or will we see it falter in favor of quarterly profits?
