Hi Phil -
"Science can only take you so far. It's fine for predicting when comets will
appear, ..."
Actually, the NASA budget for spotting new incoming comets is as near $0 as
their managment can make it - you see, comets don't hit, according to Morrison
et al.
One limit to science is money. We are still waiting some 5 years for USGS cores
from the Carolinas with impact mega-tsunami data.
Further, money for the geological and archaeological study of recent impact is
near $0.
Now I don't know how you describe this mindset, and the social mechanism.
As far as the increase in the stupdity level in the US, it comes from Kempton.
Really. Write me for a copy of "Amazing Stories". Stupditiy is actually a well
organized industry.
