The War on Science

A pretty cool video that highlights what I believe is an extremely important issue.

I mean I absolutely agree the Enlightenment, Industrial Revolution and so on - are absolutely fundamental events in creating the vast wealth and quality of life we enjoy today. And that at the root of them, is scientific methods. But to then extrapolate that out to Canada's environmental science policies is not a stretch, it's downright deceptive and deluded.

But, I also agree with cutting State funding of Environmental Science institutions. These institutions aren't creating the next great energy breakthrough. They aren't laying down the building blocks for the internet of the future. They are merely commissioning lots of expensive studies which often seek to regulate industry. This is why they are being chopped back down to size, because they are out of control. They are a self-propagating system, because the more studies they publish saying that we are in crisis and the fish are dying and so on - the more funding they get, and the more studies they can commission.

Placating them has become a political issue. This isn't about Science anymore. This is about Federal Scientists and their Unions trying to protect their jobs by scaremongering. The reality is that state funded science has become bloated, a lot of it isn't good value for money, and that research and innovation will continue in the private sector - where a lot of the real breakthroughs were made to begin with. This is nothing more than left wing propaganda.

I think the bigger anti-science story is that the UN thinks video games turns boys into killers.
