A few years ago, Jamie XX’s song “Gosh” had an official video released. And then a few days ago, it had another completely different official video released. The music is pretty much the same, some very slight alterations, but the videos are entirely different.
The first video shows what STEM could theoretically achieve. The second video… I dunno what the hell is going on there, if there’s some sort of message, or what. Take a look at the both of them… and see if, like me, the one focusing on the power of science and engineering doesn’t come across as by far the most appealing and inspiring of the two.
Even in the context of art like music videos… what’s more inspiring? A STEM vision, or an Art vision?

New video:
Now… which one presents a world you’d like to see made real, that you’d like to be a part of? That makes the least bit of any sort of sense?

For those anti-science trolls out there, this post is not saying that art should be done away with. But it *is* saying that an understanding of science and engineering allows you to dream dreams not only vaster and more beautiful that you would be able to without science… but those dreams could be made *real.* Without science and engineering and math, nothing you dream will likely be possible or meaningful.
