I asked once why he was working at a mid-level manufacturing company in the US.
He said it was because that any university research lab was run by "Steady Freddy" and your results had to fit into the model of what was already agreed on to be true.
I doubt US universities are any different.
Of course it’s going to when woke, politically correct agenda dictates actual scientific research.
Might as well shut down the patent office.
Revolutionary Cancer Vaccine Simultaneously Kills and Prevents Brain Tumors
Sounds like, once applied, they could kill all cancers.
I know ... yawn. ;-)
All science is now “settled.”
There is nothing more to learn.
Here is the pull quote:
“The researchers suggest federal agencies could implement funding changes to better support scholars’ long-term careers.”
I can imagine several explanations. First, science has gone woke so any discoveries by white men or Asians is racist and furthers white privilege. Second, anything that might remotely question the dogma of climate change cannot be published. Lastly science is based on seeking truth, using the scientific method and is based on discoveries of white men so all science is racist.
Of course. Everything is settled science and therefore cannot be changed.
IT IS SETTLED SCIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The problem is that consensus has replaced science.
Post modern science which disdains the historical scientific method as patriarchal has taken over all the sciences and especially medicine. It throws every theory fantasy and questionable study of ten to a group of scientists where consensus determines the truth (or best evidence).
I challenge everyone posting on this thread to include their fields of scientific expertise, and how long they have been working in that field.
Me: physics and electrical engineering, > 30 years in industry.
IMO, the fellow who commented that the “low hanging fruit” had been taken is on the right track. The hundred years from 1870 to 1970, and all the discoveries made then, were historically very unusual. We should not be surprised to find the pace of “breakthrough” discovery slowing. All the “woke” crap and pseudoscience doesn’t help, but we still shouldn’t expect a historically unusual period to continue indefinitely.
And no, that doesn’t mean I think we’ve discovered everything and the patent office should be closed. The person upthread who asked about that should stop being absurd.
Hey, didn’t the Algore crowd tell us they had reached scientific consensus?
I mean 97% of the scientist agreed, no?
And then they said “Trust the science” and Fauci said he himself was science.
Woke politics will end humanity.
Science by consensus does not allow falsification. Thus science is dead.
bkmk
Boy are they going to be surprised when the med beds roll out. 😆
