  • So, you keep saying money this, money that, and I 100% agree that money makes everything political.

    Science is not inherently political until you bring money into it, which is why well funded, independent and public research institutions are such a benefit. And why threatening the operating capital of those researchers like we have here is such an insult. They don’t care about these squabbles.


  • Who decides who is the experts?

    The people that learn enough about a subject to publish their own research

    Who gets the opportunity to become an expert?

    The people that learn enough about a subject to publish their own research

    What are the experts taught at school?

    The research that other experts have published

    Who picks the experts?

    You just rephrased your first one here, so the answer is still “the people that learn enough about a subject to publish their own research” ie peer review.

    If you were actually trying to ask, who gets to become a PAID expert, the answer to that question is the people with money.
