The Idols of the Cave, which originally alluded to the conflicting interests of the scientist, must now emphasize the ubiquity and variety of financial and nonfinancial conflicts of interest attendant to the massive institutional and bureaucratic systems that have risen up around scientific activities

Eisenhower had a few things to say about that.

A lot of government funded activities tend to be very partisan in nature. For example climate studies, gender studies, ethnic studies, PBS, abortion funding, etc.

How about passing a law that would defund any program that doesn’t have strong bypartisan support?

The Senate’s filibuster rule in a way does some of that. I’d like to see that strengthened and something similar in the house.

Just think how many fewer laws would be passed.
