Niels Bohr famously dissolved the medal he got for his Nobel Price for chemistry in acid when the Nazis invaded his home country of Denmark, to prevent it from falling into the Nazis' hands.

Unlike him, the most recent recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize of all things, who shall not be named here, because she doesn't deserve being named, handed her medal to a deranged megalomaniac and fascist wannabe dictator.

And yet you advocate for the scientists over the artists

You’re not even a good troll, make it make sense.

make it make sense.

It make perfect sense. You just fail to understand it.

Scientist: Have an overall understanding of the current moral of the current society. Specialist in his scientific area.
Humanitarian: Have an overall understanding of the current moral of the current society. Only in extremely rare cases can do anything besides talking.

Question: who can better understand the moral nuances of the specific scientific area?

But math can be beautiful! ... It's just not art.

When I was at University, Math majors were Bachelor of Art, not Bachelor of Science. That has changed?
