Humanitarian Failures Of The University Of California Board Of Regents And Scientists

[Guest California Bear]

The University of California Board of Regents and scientists have completely failed for over 40 years to produce a source of affordable energy to give every human being an acceptable quality of life.

 

When I graduated from UCB 40 years ago, the most honored scientists of the Los Alamos era grandly proclaimed and guaranteed that such a source of energy would be available by the end of the 20th century. But the Los Alamos geniuses must have immediately retired from scientific life because the University of California and National Labs scientist haven’t accomplished anything for the survival of humanity during the 40 years since then.

 

A couple of most highly respected warnings explain what didn’t happen over the last 40 years:

 

Freeman Dyson, in his book “Imagined Worlds” explains:

 

“The main social benefit provided by pure science in esoteric fields is to serve as a welfare program for scientists and engineers,” the best examples being UC Berkeley scientists and UC National Labs full of UC scientists on welfare.

 

Most importantly, Eisenhower's Farewell Address to the Nation on January 17, 1961 warned America:

“The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present – and is gravely to be regarded.”

But the ultimate reason for the failure of science to achieve this humanitarian goal has been the highly politicized UC Board of Regents, best illustrated by the fact that the current Chairman is John J. Moores, who is most distinguished from recognition awarded by Fortune Magazine, Sept. 2002, designating Moores as one of the greediest Americans in the history of economics.

By coincidence, I just received my latest California Monthly, with a feature article on 1937 UC graduate Robert McNamara, one of the most hideous people in the second half of the 20th century, responsible for one of the most godawful blunders in American history, causing the deaths of 60,000 American patriots and possibly millions of Viet Namese babies, children, women and men, which has tremendous parallels to the Iraq War today where the entire White House lied to force Americans into wars.

 

But the most interesting thing is McNamara's 1968 statement where he credited the University with creating "an environment which, more than any other, shaped the pattern of my life."

 

This also explains the 40 years of failures by the University of California, where academic and administrative cultural values include the highest achievements of inhumanity in American history.

The Union of Concerned Scientists is a very pathetic offshoot of the UC culture of welfare employment for life.

 

UCS is notorious for screaming "The Sky is Falling" in their press releases, pointing fingers at everyone but themselves, for the failures of anyone but themselves to improve life for humanity.

 

They just prove the case that No One Really Cares in the Berkeley scientific establishment that lives in a world "detached from the mundane needs of humanity" (quote from Freeman Dyson's Imagined Worlds, p. 199).
