[ExI] India and the periodic table

[efc at swisscows.email]

Would you say that there is an authoritarian and anti-scientific trend 
currently in the world?

For me, personally, and at the risk of perhaps stepping on some republican 
and/or christian toes, the US abortion debate comes to mind, and to pick an
example from sweden, there is a growing anti-immigration sentiment. Also, in
terms of knowledge, politicians have removed learning how to use pen and paper and 
have children focus on ipads, as well as trying to get children to learn 
how to program, without any fundamentals. The past couple of years in the 
PISA (some kind of international scoring system for educational systems) 
swedens students have dropped a lot of positions.

Best regards,
Daniel
