I read this article http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-09-03/br...n/10195034
from Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_M...razil_fire
The recent fire that destroyed the main museum and research center in Brazil proved that "extreme" societies have a big problem.
It could be a robbery gone wrong, or gone as expected, to wipe tracks with insane colateral; or the predicted disaster neglected for decades. Or both.
While our leader just points out the importance of the "national identity symbol". As if we had one.
Should economy, justice, religion, and science be separated? Is it possible to do something?
Clearly governments aren't focused on science, society, or justice as the common people think they should, but people also didn't help. Maybe it's meaningless when the system is broken and people jobless. Hunger and fear come before order and progress.
In a country divided into factions, Congress and Administration are disputed by corporations, mobs and churchs, either by eventual bribery or pressure, direct placement or winning elections. But science and culture? Nobody is paying for them and they don't make profits, they aren't an organized body, incorporated.
Mobilizing researchers and teachers as a political party will not work. At least not here.
Desist and move out, as many already did; science should be global anyway, and poor countries can't really help.
Maybe the doctors should discretly remove all they can carry and start fires.
I grew with dreams, now decay within a nightmare.
