Undermining science is not merely anti-intellectual—it is self-destructive. The erosion of scientific integrity corrodes the foundations upon which technological growth, economic stability, and national power rest. In nations whose strength has long depended on technological achievement, this path leads to disintegration: a harsher, more chaotic, and increasingly incoherent world.
If you cannot grasp why this matters, it is probably already too late. Hope may endure, but ideology does not sustain reality—reality sustains ideology. The accelerating global crises we face are not mysterious acts of fate; they are the predictable consequences of wilful ignorance, eagerly exploited by entrenched wealth and power for transient gain.
