Scientists who study optical illusions, cognitive biases, Goedel incompleteness, Arrow’s impossibility theorem etc are tempted to abandon shared objective reality as substrate. Yet these folks cannot be the core. They are the adjustment to shared reality.

|content=It’s as if we, the U.S., hate being the worlds premier homegrown scientific community. All it takes is reversing self inflicted damage. That’s it. That’s all.
We seem to hate our own scientists.
It makes no sense. At least to me.

|content=Is anyone concerned about this? It sure doesn’t seem it.
Science needs [[Academic Freedom|academic freedom]]. It needs resources. It needs independence.
Fauci and Collins would have been impossible if we were healthy.
It is not safe to make scientists into mere employees.
It’s way too dangerous.
