   @brigrammer @TheMadPirate @Humpleupagus @Frondeur Indeed, and hilariously, the science backs this up. :smug10:

   And the constant grant writing olympics is a hard science problem often even moreso than for soft sciences. It's way before we even start talking about ideologs and institutional capture (which is rapidly becoming a hard science problem due to the politics of the grant process, but that's a very long discussion).

     @snappler @TheMadPirate @Humpleupagus @Frondeur I think there should be a bifurcation of the sciences into right wing science and everything else - where the right creates its own academy, journals, grants, etc. and not only funds new research but begins retesting the journal science industrial complex and does an audit on their replicability
     
     this could be funded, along with right wing applied science, by right wing companies and patrons
     
     and then you would have an actual marketplace to choose from with the bias clear

     @TheMadPirate @Humpleupagus @Frondeur Science as an approach is not a marketplace, it is a series of techniques designed to produce and test hypothesis and formulate theories predicated upon those that fail to be disproved which can be tested for their predictive power and wider applicability
     
     Science as an industry varies from trying to use science as an approach to produce goods and products (applied sciences) to the large body of non-use oriented science that is meant merely for publish
     
     and in this science for publish industry, the science is anything but free or a marketplace - it serves primarily as a regime mechanism for smuggling political ideas into journals and studies to give them a veneer of plausibility to normies - those ideas are then be used by companies and governments to enact deeply unpopular and clearly false notions with a "a study says" argument
     
     the published science industry has nothing to do with science as an approach, is rife with fraud and p hacking and fake data, and has very little replicability - if that is what you are studying, you are training to enter into a fraud industrial complex
     
     > tldr - while science can refer to a tool and method, most science is a system to promote fictitious ideas for political and economic deceit,
     
     > neither of those are a marketplace in which people trade goods or server
