scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically
the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the
conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes
virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds
of new electronic computers.
The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocations,
and the power of money is ever present--and is gravely to be regarded.
Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert
to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientifictechnological
elite.
Un globālās sasilšanas histērija ir tiešs zinātnes korupcijas + aptrakušu politikāņu, kuri šķiet ir materializējušies no 60 gadu Džeimsa Bonda filmām, darbības rezultāts un par sabiedrības stulbumu un inertumu mēs visi maksājam: CO2 kvotas, papildnodokļi automašīnām, 100w kvēlspuldzīšu aizliegšanu, autohibrīdi, alternatīvas energijas, biodegvielas utml mērkaķības kuru galvenā funkcija ir naudas pārpumpēšana no vienas kabatas otrā. Kā P.Rozīša grāmatā "Ceplis" - no katra pa santīmam, bet onkulim būs lapsādas kažoks.
