Happy Birthday to Isaac Asimov, who was born #onthisday in 1920.

"Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'

The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom. If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them."
