Taken literally, Nehru’s proposal is odd. We might think, for instance, that we obviously need other things, such as good laws, good institutions and a clear understanding of history, as well as science, to solve the problems he named.

IN a massive burst of cluelessness, she ignores the fact that these other “good things” have, at their core, good scientific reasoning. Take good laws for example, how do we decide if a law is “good” or not without scientific experimentation?

Basically though, I fully agree with you. I think NS failed to tell any of these authors what they were supposed to be writing about because it is just a pile of nonsense filling pages in the magazine as far as I can see….
