We've arranged a society                            based on science and technology,
 in which nobody understands                            anything about science and technology.
 And this combustible mixture                            of ignorance and power,
 sooner or later,
 is going to blow                            up in our faces.
 Who is running the                            science and technology in a democracy
 if the people don't                            know anything about it??
