Novel technologies and ideas that impinge on human biology and their perceived impact on human values have renewed strains in the relationship between science and society.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Science shouldn't be just for scientists, and there are encouraging signs that it is becoming more pervasive in culture and the media.
I've been thinking about the distorted view of science that prevails in our culture. I've been wondering about this, because our civilization is completely dependent on science and high technology, yet most of us are alienated from science.
Our world is built on biology and once we begin to understand it, it then becomes a technology.
Science without respect for human life is degrading to us all and reflects a hollow and deceptive philosophy, a philosophy that we as a people should never condone.
We are in a tech-heavy society, plunging headlong into an unknown future. Science fiction is what allows you to stand back and analyze the impact of that and put it in context of how it affects people.
We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.
If you look at the history of our country over the last 100 years, there have been periods where science and research have been celebrated. They were really kind of held up as heroes in society, which encouraged a generation of people to go into these fields.
I saw science as being in harmony with humanity.
Science is the best idea humans have ever had. The more people who embrace that idea, the better.
Our society, the dominant culture doesn't like science. It doesn't like technology.
