Gelernter is always interesting to read. Here is something recent. Preamble:
"The huge cultural authority science has acquired over the past century
imposes large duties on every scientist. Scientists have acquired the
power to impress and intimidate every time they open their mouths, and
it is their responsibility to keep this power in mind no matter what
they say or do. Too many have forgotten their obligation to approach
with due respect the scholarly, artistic, religious, /humanistic/ work
that has always been mankind's main spiritual support. Scientists are
(on average) no more likely to understand this work than the man in the
street is to understand quantum physics. But science used to know enough
to approach cautiously and admire from outside, and to build its own
work on a deep belief in human dignity. No longer."
