RE: Could Blockchain Technology like Steemit save Science from Budget Cut Backs? 🔬

in #science7 years ago

Great article. I like the idea of more research being funded and published on a block chain system.

I do have to disagree with one thing... I think that the government should have no position in the funding of any research. This government meddling has taken science and converted it into this new religion of "Scientism". Research should be funded by private individuals who are engaged the fields they are interested in. The peer review and grant awarding systems that in place from the government budgets are visibly broken. If a scientist wants money from the government they better tow the government line or the funding will stop.

Sort:  

Oh no worries I am with you completely there. Kind of was what I wanted to get across that maybe these areas of research need to take things into their own hands and out of the governments like us individuals are slowly doing against the Central Banking system. Couldn't agree with you more in this area, think that would advance human kind even faster so that way the work can truly get done.

Thanks for the support and kind comment, followed you and hope to hear more from you. Plan to dive deeper into subjects like this one so keep an eye out

Thanks! I am following you too!
