In his posthumously published (1997) book "Billions & Billion", the late great Carl Sagan provides an interesting discussion of "rules of the game", e.g. different codes of behavior/policy, such as the "Golden Rule", the "Silver Rule", the "Iron Rule", etc. 🧵      источник

Двадцатые годы нашего века. Климат продолжает меняться и жертвы исчисляются миллионами. В 2025 году создается международная организация «Министерство будущего» со штаб-квартирой в Цюрихе. Министерство должно пытаться предотвратить глобальную катастрофу и дать надежду будущим поколениям.

Ради спасения Земли от полного вымирания дозволено все. Ким Стэнли Робинсон, основываясь на существующих тенденциях, показывает свое видение возможных событий ближайшего будущего.

Merchants of Doubt
How a Handful of Scientists Obscured the Truth on Issues from Tobacco Smoke to Climate Change
Naomi Oreskes - 2010-05-25
Рейтинг Goodreads
This book dives into the controversial and talked-about story of a group of scientists and advisers who ran effective campaigns to mislead the public and deny scientific knowledge about climate change, smoking, acid rain, and the ozone hole. These "experts" denied well-established scientific studies, claiming that the science was "not settled." This book sheds light on the individuals who supplied doubt, and how they had deep connections in politics and industry.

@TomLumForest @mattmcirvin @ring_ras @DouglasCP @NaomiOreskes It actually goes back even further. Naomi's book is a must-read, but also worth reading @ChrisCMooney's "The Republican War on Science" for a longer-term contextualization of modern-day industry-funded science denial.      источник

The Republican War on Science
Chris Mooney - 2006-08-29 (впервые опубликовано в 2005)
Рейтинг Goodreads
This book explores the politicization of science in US government, where scientific findings are spun, distorted or ignored to suit political agendas. The Bush administration's views on critical issues like climate change, stem cell research, and sex education are at odds with scientifically-verified facts. Mooney argues that this anti-science mindset is largely driven by conservative ideologies and shows how the government's decisions have been increasingly shaped by industry lobbyists and evangelical activists. A compelling read on the dangerous consequences of dismissing scientific evidence in politics.

Мир, полный демонов
Наука — как свеча во тьме
Carl Sagan - 1997-02-25 (впервые опубликовано в 1996)
Рейтинг Goodreads
"Мир, полный демонов" — последняя книга Карла Сагана, астронома, астрофизика и выдающегося популяризатора науки, вышедшая уже после его смерти. Эта книга, посвященная одной из его любимых тем — человеческому разуму и борьбе с псевдонаучной глупостью, — своего рода итог всей его работы. Мифы об Атлантиде и Лемурии, лица на Марсе и встречи с инопланетянами, магия и реинкарнация, ясновидение и снежный человек, креационизм и астрология — Саган последовательно и беспощадно разоблачает мифы, созданные невежеством, страхом и корыстью. Эта книга — манифест скептика, учебник здравого смысла и научного метода. Яркий, глубоко личный текст — не только битва с псевдонаукой, но и удивительная картина становления научного мировоззрения, величайших открытий и подвижников. Наука для Сагана — чистая радость, она удивительна сама по себе. Взять хотя бы несколько фактов: вся информация о человеке содержится в каждой клетке тела; квазары находятся так далеко, что их свет начал излучаться по направлению к Земле еще до того, как она сформировалась; все люди — родственники и происходят от одних и тех же предков, обитавших несколько миллионов лет назад. Наука открывает беспрецедентные возможности, и человечеству давно нет нужды придумывать себе идолов и позволять манипулировать собой.

@nature Sagan died a year after the book was published, but his words still offer wisdom & clarity at a time when science & reason are under threat.      источник
