WTF?

And that's good. But when someone like Feynman pulls a new idea out of the air, we gasp in amazement.  Much of science is derivative of what is already known. And that’s good.

The last decade when science and engineering meant "go" and not "stop" like it does now. We've let a lot go, and degraded an awful lot since then. I know it started in the 70's but they way the Left ruined education and the way the Right never liked an educated populace and confuses propaganda for education we've really let ourselves go.  Americans are not as educated or optimistic as we once were and our leadership class has degraded into a band of crooks.
