China doesn’t fund all of the bullshit research America does in the social sciences of dubious quality and reproducibility. I would love to axe everything that isn’t a hard science.

- Loughla 2y agoYes. The only thing that contributes to society is science. That's why we have museums devoted exclusively to science and the study of science. It's why scientists tend to write great books about the human condition. Jesus Christ. Also. Define hard science please.
- monero-xmr 2y agoIt seems to me that wonderful books about philosophy and the human condition could be written without taxpayer funding, considering all of human knowledge is available at our fingertips
- foobarian 2y agoWhat if... the taxpayers would like such books to be written?
- johnnyanmac 2y agoWhy are we blaming Schools for using taxpayer funds and not the congress (or state govenor) who makes the budget? When did we celebrate shooting the messenger? Also, this is pretty selfish reasoning. I'm sure the manufacturing jobs feeding us would take a stance to defund science as well. It's just a bunch of nerds playing around in a lab. They aren't contributing to the country.
- tokioyoyo 2y agoThey have a whole fund for it called National Social Science Fund that funds non-STEM and alike research.
