Neil deGrasse Tyson on Growing U.S. science illiteracy

"
"The consequence of that is that you breed a generation of people who do not know what science is nor how and why it works," he reportedly said. "You have mortgaged the future financial security of your nation. Innovations in science and technology are the [basis] of tomorrow’s economy."

Tyson compared the modern United States to 12th Century Baghdadi society in present-day Iraq, which led the world in science and mathematics before a series of cataclysms led to its decline. The scientists drifted away, and scientific literacy faded from that part of the world. Of 655 Nobel Prizes awarded in the sciences since 1900, Tyson said, only three have been awarded to Muslims.

NDG is right..the issue isnt just the growing scientific illiteracy...its that its limited to this country...in places like India and china theyre not playing...

China-based innovators applied for a record-setting number of invention patents last year.

The country accounted for more than a million submissions, according to an annual report by the World Intellectual Property Organization (Wipo). It said the figure was "extraordinary".

Many of the filings were for new ideas in telecoms, computing, semiconductors and medical tech.

Once the center of innovation shifts east the money and power will surely follow and the curtains will start rolling down

You and @TheReal should link on a podcast and discuss the issues.
