Utopia Incorporated

Scientists do not egg each other on to comprehend
six unproven theories before breakfast, daily.
The six improbable theorem are more likely
to be the work of  publicists who work
for the multi-national companies who invest in the sciences.
These publicists like to clog up world media
with undigested ideas of how speculative utopias
might work, as long as their companies are in charge.
That the science the media reports on is undigestable
to the lay person, because it is highly theoretical,
is less of a problem than it seems,
the impetus is mostly about publicists
trying to knock the latest world war off the front page.
