It's simple: We stop publishing in papers, and instead adopt smaller chunks of our work as the core publishing units. Each figure should be an individually published entity which contains the entire computational pipeline. Figures are

I re-read the thread and you're right, you were a bit unfairly "attacked" for asking a reasonable question. I focused on what you said without taking context into proper consideration, sorry for that. I was not respond

Yes, generally speaking, but there are genes that were evolved on branches after they separated from ours. We don't produce chlorophyll even though we share some DNA with plants. Imagine in languages: Indoeuropean languages share a

You're grasping at the words trying to force an irrelevant and unsubstantiated point. No, I'm not saying to treat people like animals, on the contrary, I was arguing for allowing people the dignity to study without debts.
