"This holiday season, Americans can give thanks that our democracy seems to
have survived, if only temporarily, and if only by the skin of its teeth. But
where are we headed?
There is general agreement that our nation is in decline. China and most
American pundits think so. So do the nearly 63 million citizens who voted for
the Demagogue in 2016. Their slogan said, “Make America Great
Again.”
(emphasis added)
But
why is this so? I’m a 77-year-old with a unique career. I got my
doctorate in physics just before government support for basic science tanked
under Richard Nixon in the early seventies. I went to law school and became a
lawyer near (and later in) Silicon Valley, specializing in intellectual
property (IP). While teaching in that field, I paid a lot of attention to
science and technology in the US and where they were headed. And now, in
retirement, I’ve spent years thinking about what I’ve seen and what it all
means, and summarizing my conclusions in my blog. Here’s my special
perspective."
