Nobody should have to pay for education. Um... How about "Everybody should have to pay for education."

Or better yet, how about: "Absolutely everyone pays through the nose for all the fucking idiots that come about in nations where education is not payed for by absolutely everyone while nations where the people provide education to absolutely everyone prosper vis a vis The Scandinavian Model."

America is not prospering. America is wasting the greatest opportunity it has ever had. Fuck the Louisiana Purchase, Alaska, WWII. The whole thing that is America is in jeopardy because of how atrociously ignorant everyone is.

I think only bad scientists make value judgements! (that's a joke.)

But scientists are excellent at finding out what the value judgements of a society are without artificially crafting them first, as is the case with the world we live in now. Scientists also are good at finding out with what those value judgements correlate. Scientists even sometimes figure out why things happen, within certain degrees of certainty. And the biggest bonus of all is that scientists kick the ass of any religious prophet when it comes to prediction.

Yes there are many variables. Would you rather have people at the helm of your government holding on to one of them for dear life, claiming they fucking know and understand and are right, totalitarian-style or a bunch of lab coats standing around, scratching their heads and honestly admitting that they don't know all of what's going on, they can't yet see all of the relevant variables nor know their interactions, talking about how the problems are actually complex ones, encouraging people to hold on to their hats and not force them to enact legislation according to any single, unsubstantiated hypothesis.
