14. All the stats and numbers you could possibly

spew don't address the overall general issues. By the way your spelling and grammar lag the rest of your apparent scientific education but I find that to typically be the case with most STEM education today. In my experience some of the best engineers, from a numbers standpoint, couldn't get spelling, grammar and paragraph construction correct when I would receive their work for review and assessment. The vast majority of STEM colleges turn out robotic numbers people who know little to nothing of philosophy, art, literature, sociology, history beyond their field of study, ethics etc.

It is a major reason we end up with people in science, engineering and technology fields who charge ahead without any deeper understanding of larger ramifications and impacts. They are positive that they are smarter than anybody else about the subject while never understanding that some of the smartest people can also be some of the least in ability when it comes to wisdom. Knowledge and technology without wisdom about the broader issues is a major problem in the world and leads into the discussion of what is known as "dangerous knowledge" and an issue for another time.

Have a jolly weekend.
