And I would like to get back to making science the single greatest taxpayer investment (in a public good) known to man. Why we (or someone else) chose to destroy ourselves scientifically is beyond me. The market can’t do this work. And soon we won’t reliably be able to either.

@reindsummit @austinbishop Oh yeah!!!

@danielmitchell @aphysicist Also frees people to do more intellectually interesting work which, in turn is higher value and earns them higher wages (if done right)

2. "What if?"
3. "Then what?"

Finally, someone built a simple, cheap, utilitarian truck. $20k~, made in the USA, and no damn touch screen. Congrats @jeffawilke and the team at Slate — this thing is awesome.

What do you think?

Learning the scientific method probably a better bet than learning science at this point
