Edward Dolnick summarizes his history on The Royal Society with something Trump and his disciples never will understand. The American Experiment was designed by honest scientists who stood on the shoulders of Newton, Liebniz, Halley, Hooke and so many others.
Our liberty was secured with the scientific method. Now look at us. Social Media is at at best poetry or painting. We are burning down the temples of knowledge based on observation, probability, and motion.
Today we can’t suffer the arrow of infection or blight of environmental destruction without throwing our sacred privileges into the fat orange hands of human devils.
Without science, problems are never fixed and that’s where we could end up if we stay in this vortex.
This is why it matters when the forces of darkness try to shut down laboratories and burn books. We hold these truths hard won through science to be the American Dream.
Freedom. That’s why microscopes matter.
