All progress of our
species, civilization, and culture is the result of science. The rest of
mankind's endeavors is to provide an infrastructure so that scientists can do
their work. A better political structure (democracy?) means that scientists
can be more efficient. A better economic structure (capitalism?) means
more resources for scientists in their endeavors. Great art and music
means that scientists can be inspired to further the cause of homo sapiens. An
efficient garbage collection system means scientists don't have to worry about
such trivialities. Better roads means
we can get to our labs quicker. A fair election system means that civil
unrest won't disrupt the course of scientific research. Science and
scientists are the real reason for life. All the rest is an appreciated
supportive role. Thanks. (Disclaimer: I'm a physicist.)
