      Replying to @AlexGodofsky @eigenrobot
      The system has produced an elite cadre of senior scientist-bureaucrats whose job is fighting over funding. They don't do science at all, but they get their names on every paper that comes out of their lab/factory.

          The use of science to determine policy is the root, gov funding science is a cornerstone.

          Just giving good scientists money on the regular works fine, it's making them write grants every other year to get the money that screws things up.

          Alternative, the government should just hire and pay scientists directly?

          believe science should be run more like finance with a bunch of prediction market traded pre-registered hypotheses.
