I politely disagree that any field of applied scientific research has as a main problem the issue of belief. It will not matter in 50 years what any of us believed. To assign an intangible purely cognitive item that is at best to be described as having meaning because of culture on subjective meanings filling a need in the process of coaching social teamwork behavior results, as the key blocking factor to science research is to say what exists as possible is mostly limited by conventional perception. I think the actual discovery will not be made by public interested scientists but by private mercenaries because the wall of resistance made by the political conventions prevents the behavior of cooperation in work toward goals that do not protect the power interests of the wealthy. They will have better medicine, our internal organs and cryonics medicine options long before most people even know it is possible or of benefit. And most of us willing to discuss this in the public room are working a futile problem as we may not get access to the real results or technology issues. Any competent professional expert who would subject their research to the public political eye would be de funded. It is happening behind closed doors just ad Divinci dissected bodies in secret advancing medical surgery knowledge for the few who were given access to his initial research results. But in 50 years it will not matter much. Believe what you want. Take down as many of us doing the work of science research as you can. Eventually what works obviously in the trends of science research and development will change the way we all live and the options we have in trying to survive. Fighting in the psychology of Future Shock does cause some changes but ultimately it does not change progress unless it simply stops evolution by the expedient of extinction. There is only adaptive behavior or there is not adaptation and there is only survival or extinction. Life will evolve even at the level of intelligent human beings and society.
