Some people have suggested 50% funds distributed between all researchers and each researcher deciding who should receive the rest): https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/04/new-system-scientists-never-have-write-grant-application-again … Interesting I think though not perfect, would need some corruption control mechanism (but so does the current system...).

I actually don't like this idea because I think network effects would lead to power law distributions and the same problems with some mega rich labs as we have now.

Replacing the good writers/ salespeople/ideasmakers with the good friends-haver sounds like a problematic direction.

At least everybody gets 50% of the funding. And the research shows that ' If scientists allocated 50% of their money to colleagues they cite in their papers, research funds would roughly be distributed the way funding agencies currently do'. We already have 'soft 'corruption...

I just don't see the advantage of making it 50% equal rather than 100%. What do you gain other than inequality and bias?

In ML we know that in high dimensional spaces bias is a good, an essential thing. But it needs to be engineered right. Let's improve the engineering!

Ha!
In principle yes, but engineering good bias in social systems even harder than ML systems!1 odpowiedź 0 podanych dalej 1 polubiony -

Relative to many other nations our systems (both UK and US) seems to work well. Lets innovate and make them better, let us not reboot them. Many systems have UBI like components in science and they work horribly.

Which systems have ubi and work badly?

Many continental systems have prof positions that come endowed with a student or more. Totally removes the incentive to collaborate to get grants. I *love* how in the US if someone has cool ideas, colleagues rally around them, in parts to jointly get grants. Good incentives.

Don’t you think a UBI system to cover basic living allowance would be beneficial? Thus protecting academics from continuous uncertainty.

i am not advocating starving. But if I allocate a student for life to a 40 year old young prof and they burn out by 50 then I have inflicted massive damage to those students, and the system overall.

I think that the tenure system that gives lifelong safety of the professor themselves is totally cool. But the UBI would endanger the students.
