I don’t mean helping with understanding exactly what’s going on in politics. I mean can it help you to make logical points/plans when discussing politics because of the studies of sociology and stuff?

We could stablize climate change, stop ice caps from melting, sustain the rainforests, have less children, have equal base incomes, cancer, stem cell [...]
Science is the new politics. Science solves energy crisises, makes us healthy, and runs the economy through the internet. Obama is really the first science president.
Imagine a country run on logic. We could stablize climate change, stop ice caps from melting, sustain the rainforests, have less children, have equal base incomes, cancer, stem cell research, and explore space for life.
But we are bailing out a failed economy based on 8 years of pure politics.

But Sam Harris argues that science can — and should — be an authority on moral issues, shaping human values and setting out what constitutes a good life. • www.ted.com — Sam Harris has been identified as one of the “Four Horsemen of Atheism” — company he shares with Richard Dawkins, Dan Dennett and Christopher Hitchens. An outspoken proponent of skepticism and science, his two books — “The End of Faith” and its follow-up “Letter to a Christian Nation” — have become best-sellers. In “The End of Faith”, Harris showed “a harrowing glimpse of mankinds willingness to suspend reason in favor of religious beliefs, even when these beliefs inspire the worst of human atrocities.” After receiving thousands of angry letters in response, he wrote “Letter to a Christian Nation”, which centered on religious controversies in the United States stem cell research, intelligent design, and links between religion and violence. Harris received a degree in philosophy from Stanford and a Ph.D. in neuroscience from UCLA. He is the co-founder and CEO of Project Reason, a nonprofit devoted to spreading scientific knowledge and secular values in society. • www.ted.com • www.samharris.org • www …
