@vgr AI research over the last 50 years, DNA research for the 2nd half of 20th C, study of electricity in 17th and 18th Cs, etc. etc.
@atduskgreg None of this stuff is carved in stone. It's a sufficient solution somebody just made up a long time ago, like I'm doing now.

@vgr No one person made it up. It’s older than the enlightenment. It’s a chesterton’s fence and you’re treating it like a gordian knot! :) -
@atduskgreg Gordian knot would be burning down univs and letting YC run everything

@atduskgreg We agree on research mission actually. You are just married to incumbent ways of realizing it and pursuing it. -
@vgr I’m not married to incumbent ways. I’d love to see way more money for undirected research. More ARPA less DARPA. - Show replies
