@theanthonydavis @umairh I am nervous about responding with a Sci-Fi novel, but "The Ministry for the Future" by Kim Stanly Robinson seems to address the very same concerns in an unusually optimist way, although the medicine is somewhat bitter. I STRONGLY recommend it. It is a very good read.
@AccountOilers @space_mambo@RichardDawkins You seem to think that scientists have a "very limited field of expertise". By the same token, preachers should only be listened to when they preach, accountants when they count, bankers when they bank, and football players when they have a helmet on.
When I tweet on politics, even if I merely post a url, I get many replies like βStick to science. Politics is not your field.β
Which field, then, does qualify one to hold a political opinion? Are scientists specifically disqualified from thinking & caring about the world?
