QUOTE OF THE DAY

“The best tool to blow something up is a university.”
Universities train scientists and engineers to do powerful things, such as when Rio Tinto engineers blasted a site sacred to Indigenous Australians last month. But students are not trained in the ethical and moral reasoning needed to use their powers for good, argues Gomeroi mathematician and behavioural ecologist Jared Field. (The Guardian | 7 min read)
