It's been there so much longer, even Carl Sagan talked about it, and its inherently tied to religion.

We just did a 30 year run of “religious people are dumb and holding bus back” and it didn’t start a science boom and just made people more unhappy and disaffected.

And 2020 further revealed that science is not immune from politics or its own religious ideals.

  • Do you imply that last 30 years lacked significant science progress? Even if I ignore the tech ones (simpler to associate with the US), there were quite some impressive progress I heard of in other fields (in which US was significantly involved).
