The trouble is the left-wing people who run the universities consider the global warming agenda and the queer agenda to be most the critical, not STEM studies.
That statement is more truth than poetry. If you really think about it, socialism is reactionary against “the progress of science and useful arts.” First thing they want to do is fix wages and prices . . . which is the assumption that no new products (which don’t have historical prices) are brought online - and no improvements to existing products will justify higher prices to such products. The things that STEM are about, are things which socialism can’t account for in central planning.Why socialists need capitalism
- The longer socialists wait to take over the power, the more technologically advanced society they will get to conserve.
- It is more beneficial for the people of all classes, including socialists, to delay the socialist revolution indefinitely.
- To delay the socialist takeover is also better for the environment because only capitalism has the power of innovation and the resources to create less polluting technologies, materials, and alternative energy sources. To impose socialism right away would mean to put the planet at risk of never resolving the environmental problems we face today.
- Since capitalism generates goods and services that socialists later designate as "human rights," it is also in the interest of human rights to keep capitalism around indefinitely.
For all my adult life, controlled fusion power has been “just ten years away” - and it still is. But Scott Adams, knowing that history, says that people believes tell him that fusion power is no longer a science problem but an engineering problem. That is, that fusion power might actually be only ten years down the road.
Commercial fusion power would/will be a game changer requiring the flexibility of capitalism to exploit fully.
