How soon can working class Americans junk their gas stoves or buy electric cars ?
These ideas for saving the environment -and human life and indeed LIFE ON EARTH - would be worth considering only if the once venerable institution of SCIENCE had not been corrupted by greedy FOR PROFIT capitalism . Corporate America has smothered the spirit of FREE THOUGHT and FREE SPEECH indispensable in the research scientist.
We see this outrage during three years of the COVID-19 pandemic. DISSENT in Science was considered pernicious misinformation. I commend Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for his " Profile in Courage " challenge to state " science " tyranny.
Today any PUBLIC VOICE of Science has for me as much credibility as a 1990s late night Keven Trudeau TV charlatan infomercial.
Decades ago at the height of the McCarthy era the science genius Albert Einstein was telling university students : better to become a FREE spirit plumber than a state enslaved professional scientist .
How soon can working class Americans junk their gas stoves or buy electric cars ?
Can we live sanely in a world with no transcendence ? The Bach Mass in B-Minor
[The Mass was described in the 19th century by the editor Hans Georg Nägeli as "The Announcement of the Greatest Musical Work of All Times and All People" ("Ankündigung des größten musikalischen Kunstwerkes aller Zeiten und Völker").[47] Despite being seldom performed, the Mass was appreciated by some of Bach's greatest successors: by the beginning of the 19th century Forkel and Haydn possessed copies. ]
This work of Bach captures the long lost mystique and gravitas of the pre-Vatican II Catholic Church. Can we live sanely in a world with NO transcendence ?
