Arthur C. Clarke Quotes
After All, It Wasn't Science That Had Transformed The World, But The Marriage Of Technology And Capitalism. The Ignorant Might Blame Science For The Ills And Evils Of The Modern Era, But That Was A Case Of Mistaken Identity - No Research Scientist Had Ever Polluted A Water Table With A PCB, Or Performed A Third-trimester Abortion, Or Denied Someone Insurance Based On A Genetic Screening, Or Turned The Internet Into A Covert Way Of Peering Into Private Lives. Real Scientists Were Invisible Outside Their Own Circle Of Peers. Even Nobel Prize Recipients Barely Registered On The Public Consciousness, As Brohier Well Knew. A Heisman Trophy Or An Oscar Counted For Far More - There Was No Market For Heroes Of Science Trading Cards. Status Was Still Measured In Arcane Units: Bylines, Citations, Appointments, Grants.
