Solutions: Open Science


In the face of the crisis of science, it is easy to throw our hands up and watch as the old guard of the scientific establishment circles the wagons and goes back to business as usual. But there are real solutions to these problems, and we all—scientists and non-scientists alike—have a part to play in implementing them. Today on The Corbett Report we explore Solutions: Open Science.

In recent years, the public has gradually discovered that there is a crisis in science. But what is the problem? And how bad is it, really? Today on The Corbett Report we shine a spotlight on the series of interrelated crises that are exposing the way institutional science is practiced today, and what it means for an increasingly science-dependent society.

Concentração de poder e liberdade intelectual

In both cases, concentrated economic and political power would lead to a suppression of intellectual freedom, though perhaps to different degrees: experts and opinion makers would be pressured to become cogs in a factory of consensus, with the dissidents deported to the gulag of irrelevance.

THE COLLEGE AS EXPERIENCE

https://pt.scribd.com/document/248013293/Collignon-Joseph-The-College-As-Experience-pdf

"When I think of my own schooling now, from grade
to graduate school, I see it as serving two unintended
purposes: setting me a notch above kids from work-
ing-class families in my home town and creating in me
the most debilitating conformity. This conformity to
the demands of my social caste, this slavery to
assumed moral codes, to philosophical speculation
about the "meaning of it all,'' this wretched pride in
"intellectual accomplishments" - all served well to
turn me into the grotesque, death-in-life figure that I
was as the graduate."
