Suggested by the BA ( Comedy, bosons, and art -- in the Bad Astronomy Blog in its luxurious new home, Discover Magazine), Gia's Blog:
Science, CERN and Art:
Quote:
It seems to be culturally acceptable to say, ‘I don’t understand science’ or ‘I think science is boring’ or ‘I don’t get what the big deal is about science’ in a way that one never hears about the arts. [...]
The problem is, of course, that the vast majority of our politicians are Arts graduates. The vast majority of the people working in our Media, even within Science programming, are Arts graduates. Our celebrities and the famous for being famous are more often than not from the Arts. It is culturally acceptable, and I may even go so far as to say that it is encouraged within our culture, to be scientifically illiterate.
