      Reminder: Access to scientific knowledge is a fundamental human right, encoded in the UN Declaration of Human Rights Paywalls from commercial publishers like SpringerNature, Elsevier, and Wiley violate these rights. Your rights. Open Access is a social justice issue.

      Yes! At the risk of being self promotional (sorry), I wrote a paper analyzing access to biomedical knowledge through a human rights lens. “Excluding the poor from accessing the biomedical literature: a rights violation that impedes global health,” at https://cdn2.sph.harvard.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/125/2013/07/4-Yamey.pdf …

      These people aren't going to be reading the medical literature anyway. Low knowledge is a demand problem, not supply.

      Sorry, but this is plain wrong. People do want to read the medical literature. Small example: https://whoneedsaccess.org/  And you're conflating the 'lack of demand' with the right to deny access too. People should have the right to read what they want, should they choose to.

      It's not plain wrong, dude. Internet made most knowledge free, and there is no notable change in how much stuff people know in general. Demand problem, not supply problem. Normal people can't understand medical literature. Open access is not going to help them much.

      “Normal people can't understand medical literature” is a shocking, patronizing, & false statement. When parents have a seriously sick kid, let me tell you: THEY WANT, DEMAND, & HAVE THE RIGHT TO ACCESS medical articles. They paid for that research. It was done 4 public benefit.

      I agree with the economic arguments for open access, but if you think normal people can read and understand technical medical literature, you are extremely mistaken. Have you read anything about people's comprehension levels? Most doctors can't read medical studies right.

      I see a lot of emotion in your tweets, and no admission of reality of limited cognitive abilities. Normal people are having enough trouble already with following instructions in medicines they are given, expecting them to read technical literature is lol. https://www.gwern.net/docs/iq/2004-gottfredson.pdf …pic.twitter.com/7i16xiGKOF

      Your paternalistic & patronizing views about “normal people” belong to a very, very different era. A bygone era. Thankfully these views are fast disappearing.

      They're right, but they belong to a bygone era Thanks for clearing that up
