That's what I always liked about science fiction - you can make the world end. Humour is my multiple warhead delivery system.
Science never solves a problem without creating ten more.
What we want is scientists who don't become part of the policy discussion: All they do is produce science. If someone becomes an advocate, then I won't pay as much attention to their science.
I believe in general in a dualism between facts and the ideas of those facts in human heads.
