What is actually outrageous is that Scientific American publishes articles like this. It's an institution that, like so many, is destroying itself by getting into politics, especially the politics of outrage.
Scientific American started "getting into politics" in the mid 20th century, so your comment is about 70 years late.
I grew up reading SciAm in the 70's and 80's, and I don't remember a single article about politics.

Yep, Scientific American took a huge swing towards activism after the 2016 elections. The other comments claiming it has always been political are gaslighting. It got captured the same way much of mainstream media was. This article is just the latest proof of it.
