29 Concerns facing skepticism Persistence of pseudoscience, irrationality more broadly Dependent on health of science and science journalism Pseudo-skepticism attempts to deny facts, evidence, science; under guise of practicing skepticism Questions about the breadth of the mission, particularly How focused on (skepticism of) religion? How political to be?
30 Looking back and ahead Science is ingrained in U.S. history; from Ben Franklin, DeWitt Clinton onward Retains formidable resources, prestige But current political antipathy from governing party has little precedent
31 Looking back and ahead How political should scientists, science journalists, skeptics be? Answers will vary among individuals and organizations, but Very likely, more political than in the past; neutrality/ aloofness will be hard to maintain New issues will arise; near-future hot buttons may include AI and genetic manipulation U.S. science leadership at stake; China rising
