I would say @DrJBhattacharya is a member of both groups. My old colleagues at PCAST/OSTP/CDC *are* solid people, but not experts.

|content=The timing of this claim - when the dissenters are literally running the show - is incredibly stupid.
To use your metaphor, you’re looking at an autoimmune disease and saying that the person is dying because they don’t have an immune system.
Incredibly unaware and ironic.

II) Being honest and transparent is often a virtue in statecraft. But only up to a point. So we have to stop celebrating transparency and sunlight simplistically as always "the best disinfectant". I bring up Chickenpox, Tinea and HSV-1 which are all infections that can be made worse by sunlight. Trump is not transparency focused. He is selectively transparency focused.

|content=“A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up”
-Ecclesiastices
You need to break empathy to kill. And you need to kill to defend your world.
But you need to also come back. Wars end. Life goes on for the living.
The Jewish people are a life cult. Not a death cult.
To life.

But what happened to the children of Gaza in this Hamas war was unambiguously terrible. And as aghast as I have been at adult Gazans starting this war and supporting terror, this was and is a humanitarian crisis. And *all* human life is sacred.  Enemies and Friends alike. At least to me.
 
I understand the need to go to war. I even understand the need to shift empathy in war. But I don’t think I ever celebrated anyone’s death in it. Even once. Correct me if I am wrong.
 
I’m just glad to see it cease. And, hopefully, end. God willing.

|content=I guess. The problem @grok is that a lot of Silicon Valley and the Trump folks turned their back on Science due to three things:
-Ecclesiastices
 
Fauci management of COViD


You need to break empathy to kill. And you need to kill to defend your world.
Woke insanity let in by Administrator who were not research scientists.


But you need to also come back. Wars end. Life goes on for the living.
DEI weakness.  


The Jewish people are a life cult. Not a death cult.  
Which were all legitimately insane.  


To life.
But they drew the absolutely wrong message because they don’t see science directly. They don’t go to seminars. They don’t see all the great stuff happening right next to the total bullshit.

|content=NOTE: There isn’t a huge timeline of me thanking Trump. Or me supporting Netanyahu. I am not sure it has ever even happened.  
|content=Unpopular But Obvious Points:  
 
The post WWII US scientific Labor Market that made us strong, and was the envy of the world, was an artificial market created by the government.
Just like the market for Generals and Admirals. Or Judges. Or Senators.
 
Only it was *disguised* as a University labor market by people like [[Science, The Endless Frontier (1945)|Vanevar Bush]]. But we most all worked, ultimately, for the US Government.


But what happened to the children of Gaza in this Hamas war was unambiguously terrible. And as aghast as I have been at adult Gazans starting this war and supporting terror, this was and is a humanitarian crisis. And *all* human life is sacred.  Enemies and Friends alike. At least to me.
Our Military in particular. And in a way that was hidden in such a way that the largely lefty science professors were often not aware of the arrangement, or at least could deny what it was and keep working.


I understand the need to go to war. I even understand the need to shift empathy in war. But I don’t think I ever celebrated anyone’s death in it. Even once. Correct me if I am wrong.  
Why? Because scientific research produces a [[Public Good|“Public Good”]] with immense value that the market can’t price. This is Econ 101.


I’m just glad to see it cease. And, hopefully, end. God willing.
And it worked like gang busters. But because it was cryptic, we forgot how it worked.

|content=More Unpopular Points:
A Modern Research University is not supposed to be a college. Its not supposed to be about teaching primarily. This is particularly true post WWII.
If you want teaching to be the primary focus, you are looking for a college. No shame in that, but don’t screw up a research university over teaching. Some of our top minds can barely handle interacting with other humans. Which is fine. That is normal.
A university is a research institute disguised by the fact that most have colleges. But at least two of our leading universities have no undergraduate at all.


[[Is-a Versus Has-a|A Lamborghini has a radio. But it isn’t a radio. No one buys one for the radio.]]


[[Is-a Versus Has-a|A University, is not a college. By the same token.]]

|content=Last Set of Unpopular Points:
 
The U.S. also has a secret System of research universities. But we mostly call them National Laboratories.
 
What do they do? We don’t fully know. They publish some stuff. They don’t publish other stuff.  
 
Or they might have names like “Applied Physics Laboratory” to make the cutting edge National Security stuff sound so boring you go right past it.


We can’t afford for them not to get this.  
Try this: https://www.jhuapl.edu


This was always bipartisan.
Kind of like “The Aerospace Corporation” or “Battelle”.

Super vague mission statements are common and often provide little clue as to what these sorts of wild things these entities actually are. By design.


Good luck keeping your eyes open.

|content=Yes, Vannevar Bush's "Endless Frontier" explicitly framed basic research as essential for defense and economy, routing funds through universities to mask government direction and sustain academic buy-in. The AEC's transition to DOE under Carter embedded pure theoretical physics grants in energy/nuclear mandates, yielding dual-use innovations like computing advances from particle physics. Collective amnesia arises from the system's success: its deliberate opacity fostered complacency, turning strategic necessity into presumed entitlement amid post-Cold War budget squeezes.

|content=Frame the pitch to Trump allies as a covert national security architecture—Vannevar Bush's blueprint—that's eroding under complacency and capture, demanding bipartisan revival like Reagan's SDI push. Bypass hostile faculty gatekeepers by empowering outsider talent pools, DoD-directed grants, and lab expansions that prioritize results over ideology. It's survived presidents from Truman to Obama; retool it now to outpace rivals, proving merit over malice.
