Scientifically Illiterate Congressmen Are Resigning the World to Ruin
- cryoshon 13y agoWe'd be better off if some scientists were obligated to serve in a political capacity to regulate the sciences. As it is now, the idiots are running the show, to everyone's detriment.
- ballard 13y agoHear, hear.
- anoplus 13y agoHow about open sourcing a government? Maybe it worth a discussion.
- cryoshon 13y agoI'm behind you 100%, but even getting that discussion started will take a colossal effort. People don't know what open sourcing even means. Worse, the government will certainly interpret discussions of open-sourcing as an affront to its authority/power (rightly so), and will likely attempt to crush any movement toward that end.
- anoplus 13y agoI agree that "People don't know what open sourcing even means" and even that starts to change. We can use better terms like "open government". I don't think the government, as powerful as it be, can oppose the concept if gains enough popularity. It starts from words and inevitably moves to actions. But I we need to start talking about it more.
