Deep Space - Space Laces lyrics and good thoughts

We've arranged a society based on science and technology
in which nobody understands anything about science and technology.
And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power,
sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces.
I mean, who is running the science and technology
in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?...
And the second reason, I'm worried about this is that science
is more than a body of knowledge;
it's a way of thinking,
a way of skeptically interrogating the universe
with a fine understanding of human fallibility.
If we are not able to ask skeptical questions
to interrogate those who tell us that something is true,
then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan,
politcal or religious, who comes ambling along.
The people had to be educated,
and they had to practice their skepticism and education
otherwise, we don't run the government, the government runs us.
