Within that advancement, it would be my hope that there would be focus on quality of life, appreciation for excellence, respect for knowledge and application. Some would say this discussion is idealistic. Idealism can become a part of reality when change is created with vision, understanding, and an educated plan. Rocket scientists get that. It must be frustrating for them to watch the rest of us struggle with the basic concepts or not even attempt the struggle.
