If only they knew? Nope, they know.
A typical pro-"science" article says that better science education and less "denial" would have prevented the Flint water problem.
Nonsense. As I pointed out before, governments have been aware of this specific problem at least since 1920. More broadly, governments have been choosing sources to find cleaner water for THOUSANDS of years. See Roman aqueducts.
Lack of knowledge is NOT the problem in Flint. All the necessary "science" and knowledge is firmly in place. Corruption is the problem.
BIG POINT: When you focus your efforts and BUDGETS on trying to improve knowledge, you are MISUSING AND WASTING finite effort and budget.
Knowledge is not the problem. Evil is the problem.
Directly parallel to the everlasting waste of education. If only we can impart more math knowledge to black kids, they will be the next Tim Cook or Eric Schmidt!
No. No amount of math knowledge will turn a black kid into Cook or Musk. Black kids are strong in morality and weak in math. You can't switch those talents around to create an evil genius, and we SHOULDN'T be trying to create more evil geniuses in the first place.
The problem in both cases is that we've allowed our governments and businesses to be run by evil geniuses with high abstract IQ and negative moral IQ. These evil geniuses have used all the "sciences", ESPECIALLY the "science" called economics, to SMASH normal civilization, deprive normal people of jobs and status, and starve the poor.
We need LESS KNOWLEDGE AND MORE MORALITY.
MORALITY IS ANOTHER WORD FOR SURVIVAL.
