We’ve arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements -- transportation, communication, and all other industries; agriculture, medicine, education, entertainment, protecting the environment; and even the key democratic institution of voting -- profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things, so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for awhile, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.
- Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World
Science is but a perversion of itself unless it has, as its ultimate goal the betterment of humanity.
