  1. The more some Americans downplay intellect and, by extension, science, the worse things will go for us. Because of Coronavirus, we've moved Climate Change to the back burner. But, trust me, it won't stay there long. Regardless, the U.S. is in terrible shape right now because of antipathy for science, by which I mainly mean a lack of respect and deference paid to the doctors, and the people who know what they're talking about. Fear of death makes everyone stupid, but especially people who are already underestimating the difference between really smart people, who have spent their lives honing their intellect, and know their fields of expertise, and Trump, who only pretends and assumes that he has a natural understanding, because his uncle was a scientist. But this goes deeper, to the American people, especially Trump's supporters, who believe, instead of know, and have hunches, instead of facts and data. This is a recipe for disaster, as we see now.
