@worrydream did this pass both houses??!?
@worrydream Ugh. Exactly like ARPA becoming DARPA, then? Intended to kill funding for undirected research?
@atduskgreg @worrydream yes, usually called 'basic' or 'fundamental' research.
@worrydream Wait, what? This bill kills the NSF?
@worrydream @RepEBJ I worry this is a global trend
@worrydream Fundamental (but not complete?) opposition:
Conservatism: "Preserve what we have"
Basic research: "Expand what we know"
@Piece_Out @worrydream @RepEBJ It's really bad if it passes. The NSF needs a bit of freedom to fund risky things, and isn't protected (1)
