Quote by Barbara Ehrenreich
Thus will the fondest dream of Phallic science be realized: a pristine new planet populated entirely by little boy clones of great scientific entrepreneurs free to smash atoms, accelerate particles, or, if they are so moved, build pyramids -- without any social relevance or human responsibility at all.
Summary
The quote sarcastically describes an idealized world envisioned by proponents of an extreme form of scientific advancement. It envisions a planet where only male clones of successful scientists exist, who possess great scientific abilities and are unrestricted by societal values or obligations. These clones would be able to engage in scientific pursuits without any concern for the consequences or ethical implications of their work. Ultimately, the quote criticizes the detachment of science from the broader social and ethical context, highlighting the potential dangers of pursuing scientific progress without considering its impact on humanity.
