They must design curricula that focus on solving practical problems, such as providing clean water to a growing population.
This and other practical problems end up having solutions that are decided on by politicians and corporations.
But more importantly, how is science going to advance if we do NOT have specialization? According to Stephen Hawking, specialization and granularity in science is a good thing.
Even go back farther. Einstein's theory of relativity still isn't common knowledge. The simple fact that time is relative to the observer should be taught early on. I find it fascinating that an identical clock at the top of a mountain ticks faster than an identical clock at sea-level...and it has nothing to do with the clock, or atmosphere, it is because time is faster up there than it is down here.
They have proved that bird DNA contains genes that create dinosaur characteristics. The only way this can happen is through the evolutionary process
No, God made it that way. Because he is testing our faith by giving us the ability to think rationally when presented with what appears to be scientific evidence. Now if you'd excuse me, I need to go sacrifice my kids.
Let me guess, this was a large company you worked at? In general (there are exceptions), the larger the company, the worse management is. I used to work for a company that was 15,000+. I hated it (office politics, nothing to do, terrible co-workers). Now I work for a company of 100 (half are IT). Much better and my management are really great people and take care of us.
Limbaugh is an entertainer, not a journalist. Basically most "journalists" that have their own shows are just entertainers. That includes liberal media as well.
...if we stop promoting science, medicine, learning, education...
I agree with that entire list except medicine. For the most part, medicine doesn't cure anything, it just keeps us alive while mitigating the worse symptoms of our diseases.
You need to get out of your liberal echo chamber and learn the truth that not everyone who disagrees with you is either nuts or evil.
This is great advice, but can actually be generalized to both sides.
Some years ago, I came to the conclusion that one of the worst things that has happened to this world is "labels" (religion, politics, etc.). Labels tell us how we think we should think instead of just thinking on our own.
I get fricken "Senior Java Programmer" pushes from them on a weekly (occasionally daily) basis
I have found this problem in Chicago. 100% of the time it is shitty 3rd party recruiters that are probably just trying to land interviews with their clients (the employer). Now I refuse to work with 3rd party recruiters unless I absolutely have to.
The US Federal Government buys more Dell machines than any other major customer.
What the hell do they use them for? My dad did work for the government and he filled out a paper time card and handed it in to another person that did more paper work.
On the contrary, science could arguably supply logical reasons to do all those things.
That would not be science with "logical reasons", that would be economics telling people to use science to do those things. Science is simply knowledge, nothing else.
Nonsense. He said he was married to her, so they have to be his too. People tell me this all the time cause my kids are darker skinned...but obviously it is a mutation.....and they look nothing like my neighbor
A person can only take more out than they put in if they collect some form of social service.
Not entirely true. EIC is in the tax-code and if you are financially poor, you will get all of your income tax back that you paid and any EIC. I was able to collect EIC when I was still in college.
The difference, though, is that da Vinci's notebook was filled with things he started and never completed. He loved working for the work, it would seem. Where's this in Zuckerberg's behavior?
I agree and good point, but you are assuming that he is NOT working on something else.

2nd floor of my office is filled with zombies. But strangely enough, they all kind of disappear around 5PM.

You could also just toss it in a fire

What fight?
The fight as to who gets the most of the tax payer dollars

More like: If X < Y THEN no recall. If X > Y then recall (assuming). What if X == Y?

"Yeah, who cares about openness. It is all about looks and prices..."
And speed and handling...don't forget those. All those are reasons I buy a particular car or not.

The people getting shafted are the medium income earners...
I have always said that everyone has a choice, either try and be rich or just sit and be poor. Cause the middle sucks.
Yeah... i did a school speech on that in public school. Everyone else did speeches about their summer vacations or their dogs and such.
Back then i was a bit weird... now i'm mildly autistic (although my wife says i'm getting weirder as i get older).
Weird? Never let a less intelligent society attach an adjective to you.
