“It feels like a betrayal by NASA....It’s inefficient, it’s wasteful, and it’s also just messed up.” This is how scientists inside and outside the agency are feelings about the cuts to diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. Words by me: 🧪

Too much of the USA’s decline is being framed in terms of “look at our empire being torn apart by clowns” - that’s exactly the problem: this decline is the logical outcome of when that same will to dominate is turned inwards. (I know that’s an obvious point, I’m just seeing this framing everywhere.)
