And you kwow what's astonishing?
In Portugal in the 80's we were in the first years of democracy.
The country was very poor, under developed (we had a dictatorship that lasted for 41 years and ended in1974).
In 1978, 80% of the people were illiterate. 80 % of the portuguese didn't know how to read or write.

We had a very young, fragile and ferociously poor democracy.

These people didn't know to read or write, they survived a dictatorship, and still never doubted the power of medicine (and in a way science).
I remember the 80's. I was 10 in 84. In school I was the weird one, (not only but also) because I didn't go to church, didn't do the catechism, my mother drove a car. And (oh my God!) we had a color TV?!
I dont understand, I really don't. Where in time this distrust in science, this lack of good sense, irrationality start? Why this blind distrust in institutions? And more importantly how to reverse this mentally?
Such a rich country, not only material richness. Scientific, artistic, natural richness. This wonderful country... broken.
