Everything you could have ever hoped for is closer than you think…
Cures for diseases, energy and environmental sustainability…
Mental health and economic stability…
Prolonged longevity and an end to food insecurity…
The end of many menial tasks and the taking on of tasks once thought to be intimidating too tame…
Are all closer than you think.
In fact…
Peace, prosperity, good health, and human happiness on a global scale are not just idealistic goals…
They are achievable benchmarks in our evolution.
We have developed a knowledge base through science that makes all of these accomplishments…
highly likely,
if not entirely inevitable…
The path set by research over the last hundred years has birthed much positive change to our existence so far…
And is poised to do so again with cumulative magnitudes of magnificent results in the millennia to come
For it to do so we need only protect the foundations upon which our scientific principles are founded.
To follow facts were they lead us…
and, by fostering future findings through the funding of fledgling ideas…
Science is at the very heart of everything we humans have done to improve our lives.
And nothing else we do is nearly as important to our survival as a species…
