>The only fact worth clinging on to is that Johnson and Cummings are the architects of the single most damaging attack on British science that there has ever been and will in all likelihood ever be.
>Another huge win, for Cummings and his universe-dwarfing intellect. Cummings who likes to imagine himself somehow superior to his Bullingdon enabler, merely because he smashes things up through the force of his towering ideas. He, in his imagination and absolutely nowhere else, is Prospero reaping the tempest, dancing on the branches of history. He, you have to believe, is not just another dismal clown, throwing a jug of claret at a wall, trashing some little person’s life in the service of his own ego.
EGGHEADS BTFO

@augustus going all in on science (real science, not silicon valley venture capital marketing bullshit) is kind of britain's only hope to not be an irrelevant island. cummings seems like a weeaboo when he talks about.
i dunno if it's possible to pull off though. i dont think reforming the education system is possible without shooting some eggheads tbh.
