We will all eventually just read about bananas and such according to Paul R. Gross, University Professor of Life Sciences and director of the Center for Advanced Studies at the University of Virginia

A rising tide of "irrationalism" in the United States and Europe is helping to fuel dangerous anti-science sentiments, according to a number of researchers and academics. Proof, they say, can be seen in the increased prominence given to postmodernist science studies in the universities, creationism, and alternative medicine.

And people want to read about and watch TV programs about "irrationalism"

We will have to start investing NOW in banana farms to feed the people of the future



Anti-science is so much fun long live anti-science
