This one is funny: > The world in 2076: The anti-science backlash has begun Science is like fashion. We (as a society) might be pro-science in 2025, anti-science in 2040, pro-science again in 2055 and finally begin to recover from anti-science in 2076. In other words, this one might change very very fast. There might be much more options, like "everybody likes science but it grinds to halt" and "science is loudly disapproved but a lot of fruitful private research goes on"

Countries that turn their back on science will fall behind.

  Exactly. "What has happened in these nations to support these discoveries and what has happened when they ended?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ti3mtDC2fQo&t=22m47s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ti3mtDC2fQo&t=22m47s Around 10 minutes on that subject, that part of the presentation is called the "Naming Rights."

    That's an awesome video, I think you should post it separately.

      Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I'm not in an way involved with the videos, I just remembered the talk and searched for it for the post. It's just a part of the talks that happened in Salk Institute, La Jolla, CA, November 5-7, 2006. There is more, but it can possibly disappear from the internet in this form if it gets too much attention. Maybe it's better leaving them in the comments.

  Will there still be competition for progress?

    It depends if we remain individual nations that chart different courses, or if we are conglomeratized into trans-nation states like the EU.

> Science is like fashion And the claim is based on... which proofs or sources? Or is it "just a fashion" that some people actually want proofs or sources for some claims? My claim is that, at least in Europe, what we today call "science" was something that wasn't unfashionable at least the last 350 years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_science https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_science
