|content=But if you really want to get it look at Wikipedia entries of people who spoke out when it was maximally taboo. There is an entire sub-system of “Intellectual Border Collies” with PhDs who police any one who strays from the consensus flock to please their institutional masters.

|content=Because:

Wuhan involves a Bio-Weapons Convention workaround using @EcoHealthNYC funded by @dtra.

CCP controls a huge market.

We created scientists who all fear for their ability to feed families when we ended true academic freedom.

Science-serfdom.

It’s anti-interesting.

|content=It’s absurd. Sure. But can you imagine Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins going after mainstream academics as “Fringe Epidemiologists”?

We are talking about institutional evil. Why it is there, I can’t say. But we need to simply take out the Fauci class from control over science.

Watch out for the birds though…

My impression is that Nash upgraded the Brower fixed point theorem that Morgenstern &amp; VonNeumann had already applied to two player scenarios to the Kakutani. As such it’s a more practical, but less brilliant contribution than V-M closer to a market than a game.

David Bohm
Abdus Salam
Ken Wilson

|content=But lastly, if outsiders want to fund and fix movies, you will find that going to the “Leading physicists” won’t work. Peer review can’t work when the leadership *is* the problem. You get more failure. 

You need to hold meetings where you get disagreement. So choose the leaders and iconoclasts with great care. Patrick Collison isn’t terrible at this. B+. Best I have ever seen. Start there. Good luck. 🙏

|content=This is a serious question: do modern scientists themselves think like scientists? My experience is “no”. But i got there by roaming around academic research and realizing they cannot **afford** to think like scientists. 

Try asking researchers the following rather obvious questions to see the effect for yourself: 

What are male and female?

What can we say about the possible origin theories of COVID?

How are there labor shortages of scientists  in Market Economies???

What is the strength of the argument for the necessity of directly Quantizing Gravity if spacetime is not fundamental?

How do humans behave under evolutionary incentives and what really happened to sociobiology?

Is worrying about cognitive impacts of microcephaly a form of phrenology?

Have standardized tests been useful in predicting success in science?

Why is CPI a number but weather a field?

How do we evaluate the concentrated investment in String Theory/Quantum Gravity at the expense of rival approaches as our basic theory of physics?

Can we use Carnegie stages to evaluate where abortion rights should begin and end?

When innumerable nearly unbelievable conspiracies have been discovered, why demonize all those who consider that there could be more left to be found?

Why are humans not generically  modeled as having changing tastes in markets, nor diminishing returns to money (except in the theory of risk on alternate Tuesdays)?

Did science work *better* before the modern Peer Review revolution of the 1960s?

Why do so many of our leading theoretical particle physicists not have concrete predictions about our physical world and really instead work on toy theories almost exclusively?
