Scientists in the 1990s: We split the atom! We landed people on the moon! We cloned a sheep! We discovered superconductivity! We're digitizing all of the world's knowledge for global, near-instantaneous access!

Scientists in the 2020s: No, vaccines don't include 5G chips and make you sterile. No, the Earth is not flat. No, jet contrails are not mind-control sprays. Yes, climate change is real.
