We need a separation of science and politics
@Hyolobrika They already have that in the US, doesn't look promising.
@admitsWrongIfProven What's wrong with it?
@admitsWrongIfProven And they don't, apparently. People still bring politics into science.
I meant separation of *politics* and science, not just government.

@Hyolobrika @admitsWrongIfProven
A significant fraction of scientific pursuit in the US is funded by government, and therefore highly politicized (which in this case often means having a militarily-useful goal).
I really don't want politician-style funding picking between scientists any more than I want them picking which churches are best.
