That is true.

The problem is not in that they are divorced from the real world. The problem is in the model that science get financial support, which leads to the existence of filtering that eliminates from the science anyone who is not far-left loyal dog and supporter of the "current thing".

Does that include all the money spent on military resesarch?

I don't know that I'd characterize the military industrial complex, especially the private parts, as being made of up far-left types.

It seems that funding has become much more political lately, the problem getting worse.

Is this how a 60-day old account has negative karma?

Maybe the problem is that your ideas don't withstand any academic scrutiny, since they aren't based on sound research or well-reasoned arguments.

    My ideas do withstand the reality. Unlike their so called "sound researches" or "well-reasoned arguments".

    So negative karma? I was banned on several platforms simply for saying that all available to me evidences point out that covid was developed in the lab, while ALL the scientist licked the communist China's boots and said that it is SCIENTIFICALLY impossible. So what does the karma means in front of the truth?

      Yes, that is the worst part about that letter. It destroyed a lot of credibility. It may have done more damage to public health than COVID - and in the long term almost certainly will.
