This is something of a frontier for the free software movement- to become a free science movement. One that allows for anonymized, teaching, conducting of tests and handing out of degrees, anonymized peer-reviews and publishing and anonymized granting of grants and patents.
So to speak, a world, where no matter the state, no matter the society, science in secret can progress and flourish. This also means, a decentralized web is needed, one that is unlike the TOR-node system. Because TOR can still be attributed to persons running nodes, persons accessing the nodes.
What is needed here, is more aching to a viral mesh network, that hijacks every device coming nearby into a node.
That is a lot of work, to allow for work to continue.
Another problem: How does one execute experiments, if one can not get access to devices and materials? Physics Simulation? Experiments as a anonymized Service?
- brianwawok 9y agoHow do you prevent fake science? This article tells us why its bad for the state to manage information flow. But Facebook and the alt reality around Trump show us that society is not smart enough to separate reality from fiction. I suspect in a city full of developers we could make science work. In a city with half the people are below 100 IQ, I am not sure the end result will be great. So many ways it can go bad.
