Iโm serious. Really looks like you have basically an elected monarchy in there. Just never really came to light, as there was not a malignant enough narcissist in the position before.
Thereโs no plans. None of this makes any sense beyond just the emotional needs of a mentally unstable person plus an army of sycophantic public servants and journalists sanewashing it 24/7.

in reply to eswillwalker • • •in which science suffers another decisive defeat in a battle it did not see coming.
If the cause of science is going to win this war it will need to get it's act together.
Is science a human centered endeavor?
Does it not require healthy interested humans who want to understand the world they live in to exist as an enterprise?
Does science as a cognitive project of developing consistent logical descriptions of the world we live in not require humanity to fulfill it's purpose?
Start from there.
