#2 Jablonski, an expert in the evolution of skin color, says it takes at least 15,000 years for skin color to evolve from black to white or vice versa.

#3 There has been a major dumbing down of science during my lifetime and I fear for the consequences. I talked to my 13 year old daughter's science teacher a couple of days ago and I asked her whether I should tutor her in the basics of physics and chemistry. I was told it wasn't necessary becuase she wouldn't be learning any.

#4 whether I should tutor her in the basics of physics and chemistry

The answer is yes. Apparenly no one else will.

Else in 20 years, when kids would be reading sci-fi, they would think that entropy is some kind of decaying foliage. And that would be the less important consequence.
