things science needs:
- grants to reward risk over incremental innovation
- micro-bounties for specific research breakthroughs
- rewards for 'whistleblowing' on assumptions
- more funding for basic research
**more people thinking about this stuff**

Peer review is a solution for publishing not science. Getting it done is a matter of begging reviewers for their time (I know, I run a journal). arXiv has no reviews yet open availability makes it a nonissue. Good papers get cited, that’s much better review.
I had a prominent finance prof refusing to cite my paper that was 15 years prior to publish the same ideas and was posted in arXiv q-fin and SSRN because “it’s not been published in a refereed journal”, as if it invalidates precedence. That would never happen in physics.
