liberty student: wilderness:But how much of science is subverted, not by it's own community of curious individuals, but by the State to pick and choose what science does? Undoubtedly a lot. The third video in the list I posted, addresses this. It is very, very interesting. Definitely watch it if you can find time.

Liberty Student, you made my day. Many thanks for the heads-up about that video (Terence Kealey's "Myth of Science as a Public Good"). I know Kealey from his book The Economic Laws of Scientific Research, which is pricey, but definitely worth reading. There aren't many scientists who advocate laissez faire in scientific research and funding. He may be a school of one.

I saw that on his channel a few months ago and thought it looked interesting. It's one of those pieces that makes you shake your head in disappointment whilst not really being surpised.
"The Myth of Science as a Public Good"
That was a GREAT video!! He outs himself as a collectivist at the end, but no matter - the arguments he makes about science and patents are very very interesting.

There aren't many libertarian scientists who advocate laissez faire. Everyone like to be on the receiving end of payola.
Really, I think it says a lot about people wanting to study what they want to study, not gearing their research to market demand. Even some "libertarians" succumb to this.
Political elites have always used intellectuals for cover, and intellectuals have used political elites for patronage. It's a wonderful propaganda cycle.

Yeah, I may have misread the bio it was years ago, but I do remember distinctly, he had close ties to some of the Sandinista members.
