Our current problems have less to do with a failure to appreciate science than with a grossly inflated estimation of profit, an aim which tends to warp everything to better serve it. We, scientists and non-scientists alike, need brighter stars to guide us, and so we need critical reflection on the kind of society we want to live in and leave to our children. This calls for honest and open dialogue about who we are and who we want to become. https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/why-scientists-could-use-a-march-for-philosophy/
