...of the issues.
Overall, I'm impressed by their generation.
As much as we have screwed them, I can say that they have at least access to the information that can save the world.
My son spent this summer at Oak Ridge, got to tour the high flux reactor, worked with neutrons. It's not like he's going to take this paranoid antinuke dogma seriously. He knows ignorance when he sees it.
Even if we have mindless airheads whining endlessly about a few beta particles in the soil at 1950s weapons plants, these kids are sharp, and many can grasp the tools quickly and deeply in ways us old folks can barely imagine.
They grew up with powerful computational tools, and are developing deeper ones by the hour.
This young woman should not be required to really understand even the most primitive engineering requirements, so long as she starkly draws out the reality of what we have done. She is in moral marketing, not science.
Each of them has a role, and I believe they have in them to be a great generation.
I bless them, even though it may be too much to ask their forgiveness. Frankly, we don't deserve it.
