No, it won't be awesome. Because popsci is not actual scientific training. THEY want to bring the general population to the peak of the Dunning-Kruger effect to create even more naive and manipulable people.

A good example of the harm of popsci is with the debate on climate change. Actual scientists know that climate change is a science and engineering problem. It will be solved by a team of scientists and engineers discovering a source of energy efficient enough to displace oil in energy markets. But if you don't know any science, you immediately think that climate change is actually a government problem. "Give us more money goyim" sounds like a great plan if you are at the peak of Dunning-Kruger.

Because he's ignorant and shortsighted, he will never demand these technologies be made to function without these drawbacks, and will instead convince himself that it's all okay and take what he's given. If it never shows up ont he news or popsci.com or whatever, he'll never question "science" further than how it's presented.

Imagine not thinking for yourself and letting the status quo subsume you to the extent that you can't understand another's perspective. He is basically the antiboomer and I think it relates to Japan's present state of affairs, with its ageing population.

'He's a murderer!' You think anyone's actions don't indirectly kill others? Think of inventions, of the advent of civilisation itself. Built on colonising and subverting natural cultures to make them destablised and selfhating, easy pickings for the 'civilised' empire. In any case, change can only be wrought from struggle and sacrifice. Clearly killing pains Tsukasa, as it does any healthy man, not spurred by domineering mental superstructures like nationalism, communism, 'i fucking love science'.

Tsukasa:
Senku, do you intend to bring everyone back, including the grownups whose hearts are tainted? Sure they'll be grateful to you at first. But as soon as civilisation returns, the rich and powerful seniors will say, 'That used to be my land!', 'Pay your rent!', 'Pay your taxes!'. They'll rob the poor youth of our future again. We must not bring that world back. This is a stone world. An untainted paradise. We'll revive only the purehearted youth and live in a natural world owned by no one.

Senku is essentially saying he is broken and cares only for consumerism and materialistic worship.

Literally braindead. We MUST return to the status quo and I'm going to shut my brain off and not think about what that means. Senku will bring the old world back and moreorless murder millions to come, raping the Earth in the process, for absolutely nothing, it's meaningless coincidental causalities in the march of progress, unlike Tsukasa's culling wherein every death is purposeful and done with a clear mind but heavy heart.

"Advancement" is relative. In my case technology advancing requires it to remain safe, ie it shouldn't give you brain damage, sterilize you, or cause ecological collapse. I mean, is it really so much to ask?

As far as I'm concerned, none of this should have even happened. At the point when we had the highest concentration of competent personnel working on this, we cut all funding. Instead, massive R&D should have commended such that we could identify types of exposures and signal characteristics that biological system didn't respond to. It's a good possibility however, that this isn't possible. Meaning the whole concept has to be scrapped.

Technologies like LiFi are getting there, but they damage your eyes adn there's a degree of meaningful transduction that goes on by the eye and skin surface. Refer to cryptochromes for example. Unfortunately, the reality is the current cellular telephone approach was probably dual purpose from the start. Which is why something so braindead retarded was even built.

Also, I don't think I've added this preface to the text file.

At the most basic the intracellular (cytoplasm) and extracellular environments are separated by a phospholipid bilayer.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_mosaic_model#/media/File:Cell_membrane_detailed_diagram_en.svg

The cellular environment where these phenomena take place, from Adey 1993 - Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields:
"In cellular aggregates that form tissues of higher animals, cells are separated by narrow fluid channels that take on special importance in signaling from cell to cell. These channels act as windows on the electrochemical world surrounding each cell. Hormones, antibodies, neurotransmitters and chemical cancer promoters, for example, move along them to reach binding sites on cell membrane receptors. These narrow fluid "gutters," typically not more than 150 A wide, are also preferred pathways for intrinsic and environmental electromagnetic (EM) fields, since they offer a much lower electrical impedance than cell membranes. Although this intercellular space (ICS) forms only about 10 percent of the conducting cross section of typical tissue, it carries at least 90 percent of any imposed or intrinsic current, directing it along cell membrane surfaces.

Numerous stranded protein molecules protrude from within the cell into this narrow ICS. Their glycoprotein tips form the glycocalyx, which senses chemical and electrical signals in surrounding fluid. Their highly negatively charged tips form receptor sites for hormones, antibodies, neurotransmitters, and for many metabolic agents, including cancer promoters. These charged terminals form an anatomical substrate for the first detection of weak electrochemical oscillations in pericellular fluid, including field potentials arising in activity of adjacent cells or as tissue components of environmental fields."

Both of their approaches make perfect sense and both of them acknowledge this fact. Tsukasa's approach is much simpler: He knows that bringing everyone back and rebuilding society will inevitably bring the old society's problems and he doesn't want that. He, being who he is, is much more comfortable in a stone world in which the strong rule because he is the strongest so he can keep everything in check. Senku's approach is way more tedious: He wants to bring everyone back and rebuild society as it was before the disaster. Unlike Tsukasa, he's willing to deal with the problems this task would cause. This being a shounen manga, of course the author will promote "the hard way" over "the easy way".

Noone cares bout science.
Normies think "science" is a way to justify their views without the need to defend it. Being pro-science means being right, any opponents are just illiterate rubes.
Barely anyone understands that scientific methods have changed a lot since 19th century. All they know are some maximas that help them argue. Everyone knows that Popper thing, but noone knows whats the difference between verification and falsification.
Scuentific fact always represents absolute, immutable truth to them.
So many ppl like to talk bout shit like dark energy, matter etc, when all this could be just artefacts of the theory. Like, you know, ether. Does ether exist? A normie would say that no, it was proven wrong. A scientist would say: well, if I can use etherodynamics to solve this problem, I can assume it does.
It's like that "Can pi be expreseed as a fraction?" comic. Science is only a tool you twist and pull until it fits your purpose, but few ppl know that
