I like Ike.

“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 scientific-technological elite.”

Yup—the only way the humans on the planet can get their liberty back is to put these scientists on trial—another Nuremberg.

There must be consequences for evil scientists.

Think about all the scenarios for 60 years from now. It ain’t gonna be Utopia. Hell, I pine for the 80’s.
