Obama in tribute to Darwin: we must promote science

In a speech broadcast on the White House website (and on YouTube), Obama calls on scientists to listen even when they say uncomfortable things. Advancing science does not only mean adding resources, but also free and open and clean investigation where the truth is not blurred for political reasons

At a conference commemorating the 200th birthday of President Lincoln, which is also the 200th birthday of Charles Darwin, Obama spoke to senior members of the National Academy of Sciences and told them: 'Only a united nation can accelerate our expansion and connect our coasts by rail, and so in the midst of After the Civil War, Lincoln fueled new initiatives, supported innovation, and ignited America's imagination by establishing the National Academy of Sciences. He believed that he must and in his words 'fuel the interest and ignite the genius and the discoveries of new and useful things'. On that day, which is also the 200th birthday of Charles Darwin, it is worth pausing for a minute and renewing our commitment to the science and innovation that Lincoln understood so well."

On the occasion of the occasion, Obama's office uploaded a video to the White House website (and YouTube) in which Obama talks about his commitment to the advancement of science. Here is the full translation:

"In recent weeks, Vice President Biden and myself have announced the elements that will allow the United States to meet the challenges of the 21st century. From strengthening our security, to restoring the economy to preserving the planet for our children and grandchildren. Whether it's the science that will stop global warming, the technology that will protect our soldiers, deal with biological terrorism and weapons of mass destruction, the research to discover life-saving drugs or the innovation to refresh our industries and create 21st century jobs."
"Today more than ever, science holds the key to our survival as a planet, and our security and prosperity as a nation. The time has come for us to once again put science at the top of our priorities, in order to restore the position of the USA as a world leader in science and technology. "

"Right now, in labs, classrooms and companies across America, our leading minds are hard at work chasing the next big idea to bring breakthroughs that will revolutionize our lives. But history tells us that they cannot do it alone. From the moon landing to the sequencing of the human genome to the development of the Internet, America was the first to cross these new frontiers because we had leaders who paved the way. Leaders like Kennedy who inspired us to push the boundaries of the known world and achieve the impossible. Leaders who not only invested in scientists, but also respected the integrity of the scientific process."

"The truth is that the promotion of science does not only mean the provision of resources but also the protection of free and open inquiry. Advancing science also means that facts and evidence will not be clouded by political or ideological agendas. It's also about listening to what our scientists have to say, even if it's uncomfortable, and especially if it's uncomfortable. Because the highest purpose of science is the search for knowledge, truth and a better understanding of the world around us."

"I am convinced that if we return and commit to discoveries, if we support scientific education and create the next generation of scientists and engineers, here in America, if we have the vision to believe and invest in things we have not seen so far, we can lead the world to a new future of peace and progress."

  1. No comment on the black monkey? What happened to tongue paralysis, usually your tongue rolls and utters empty and empty words, what happened to the seat of tricks, the fear of the black monkey fell on you, or maybe the token fell and you have ringing in your head.
    Ha, ha, ha, ha.

  2. Delete the warning!!!!
    The writing cannot be changed, get ready soon, we'll meet at my place.
    A little hot, get used to it.

  3. I'm sorry,

    Pay attention to the following clue I found in the Bible verses:

    [Judges XNUMX:XNUMX] "And the house of Yosef also went up to the house of God, and the Lord was with them"

    Equal in geometry 1043

    And here is the gematria value of "Tsarli is an idiot, he should be ignored" = 1043 in Dionak

    Is it accidental?

  4. I'm sorry:
    And in the correct order of letters one can only bless him

  5. Jimmy,

    Sorry, correction to the above (the calculator broke down):

    Genesis XNUMX:XNUMX:
    "And Jacob sent angels before him..."

    In geometry: 853

    "Gimi is the village fool. There is no God"

    In geometry: 853

    Can't be Mikri!

  6. Jimmy,

    I found a clue in the Bible that you might learn from about yourself:

    Exodus XNUMX:XNUMX:
    "Thou shalt not be after many to harm, and thou shalt not answer to many, and thou shalt not go after many hotly"
    Equal in geometry to exactly 700

    And here is the next sentence:

    "Gimi is the village fool"
    It is also equal in geometry to exactly 700!!

    It can't be accidental!!!

  7. Noam.
    I am calling you from the future, hoping for you to see him in good health.
    Happy holiday.

  8. Happy Harut to all the good souls!
    In our heritage it is written about the sons of Noah and Ham it was said "A servant of servants shall be to his brother" and indeed we see throughout history that the blacks were slaves.
    Obama is born from Ham and it is said about him: "He will serve because he will reign" he is the one who was born to destroy the "Trouble of the Covenant". And along with it Europe and the Islamic countries.
    Amen yes there will be a will.

  9. Oops I wrote obongo?? , Freudian exit oh...

    Well, yes, I'm not against research into embryonic stem cells, (they don't come from what we recognize as an embryo, but a simple cell accumulator)

  10. It's just a shame that too many things are done there in the name of money. They will also cause them to hold the patent on the genes we inherited from our ancestors. Because it has lobbyists.
    One cannot expect that if they "let everything go" the result will be good, it will be good in summary if the average person does better but it has dangerous limits. (meaning, of course, libertarianism and capitalism)

    And the US shows no clear signs of breaking up even though there are countries pushing the federation aside because of the Obongo policy even though it has always been there to one degree or another and also actually caused a civil war in its name.

  11. I just read an article in Vint, that a Russian researcher came to the conclusion that within two years the USA will break up into 6 autonomous districts.

    It seems to me that they made a big mistake when they elected Obama.

  12. Hugin:
    What do you say?
    Beyond the tireless tone, you claim to know what the scientists know when you yourself do not understand a thing and a half in science and you are not even able to hold a conversation with a scientist.

  13. Michael:
    And what is called in short: 'truth' is not precisely the terminal and unfathomable "pursuit of the truth" but rather the deep recognition of the shame and inability of the self to repeatedly stand naked and naked in the face of its deceptive illusion and with an arrogant, unrestrained demand and a demand without internal satisfaction, to become wiser to the truth with a brazen, extroverted mind and arrogant
    Every scientist with true awareness knows very well what this is all about and as long as he does not experience this awareness in his own flesh and blood, he does not know.
    And what about you? We'll leave it up to you.

  14. Tell me, does anyone here know what budget Obama was talking about when he said 4 billion dollars for renewable energy and 600 billion dollars for health insurance and a total of 4 trillion dollars in the budget? (2009 or 2010)

  15. to me:
    I spoke with Rami Yoshobiev and he fixed the problem.

  16. Avi Shalom, since this morning there is a problem with the article "TECSAR radar satellite - a year in space", it seems that someone accidentally pressed enter there before finishing writing.

    + It is also not possible to add comments there, please take care of the matter.

  17. Hugin:
    Things that scientists like to hear are what are called truths for short.

  18. Sometimes I struggle with the question of who is a better actor, him or Denzel Washington.

  19. Let's be precise: he said political-ideological things that scientists like to hear.
    And for C, why go far? Turn for an Ethiopian, whose mother is Polish and pushed him to study law and when his day came,,vote for him for the presidency (without being prime minister first, because,,,how far can both the 'heads' and the dark skinned To burn even more inside our tiny country? :)

  20. The words of Hashem Haim, the words of children. I hope he means his words and also implements. And I hope that some of this will flow in our direction as well. I'm starting to think that Americans are a smart people, after all.

  21. Meanwhile he says all the right things
    I would love to see him implement them
