If one individual is able to convince ten persons, and they in turn convince
another ten persons ....
ten million
in seven steps we will reach the ten million mark.
The big question is, will we able to convince say 10 out of 20 persons we
meet to contribute 1% of their income for this noble venture?
It depends on the credibility of the individuals making the request. But
what credibility do scientists and engineers have?
1. They don't provide leadership.
In the pecking order Politicians ( who rarely know much about science),
Industrialists (who are fairly ignorant) and economists (who are equally
ignorant) rate higher than scientists and engineers.
2. Scientists and Engineers have allowed science to be distorted by
Politicians, Industrialists and Economists. So not only do they lack
credibility, their science also lacks credibility.
3. How come that with the logical tools of science at their disposal,
scientists and engineers have allowed the planet to reach the sorry state it
is in at the moment?
4. Why are students in USA not all that interested in learning maths and
science?
In short, people will contribute provided scientist and engineers have
credibility and they are capable of providing leadership.
