Yes, I completely agree. I believe the ratio between our military to scientific research spending is something like 50/1. Meaning that, on an annual basis, for every 50 Billion that the US spends on the military it only spends 1 billion funding the NIH and other biological life saving research studies. This is extremely lopsided. I think we have our the wrong priorities.

In any case, AGEN looks like a very good investment.

Globalization with the purpose of trade is one thing but it is another if we are talking about countries losing sovereignty is something all together.

Also science is fine however modern culture treats science ias the new GOd. Technology is an assistance to mankind, it is not the answer. The answer is within.
