We’ve arranged a global civilization
in which most crucial elements
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 a while,
but sooner or later this combustible mixture
of ignorance and power
is going to blow up in our faces.
