Won’t happen, or at least won’t be useful if it does. Lotta Chinese authors are faking data for the sake of the CCP and their studies don’t replicate. If that takes over, it’ll be like a global Dark Age.

Republicans deserve no progress. Let them fall back into the ages they desire. No Smartphones. That’s which science.

A scientific monopoly is a bad thing regardless who you cheer for
psud@lemmy.world 5 months ago
China has a problem. It isn’t good at finding the best people and putting them into science (or whatever else). Instead it gets the loyal people and gives them the best jobs, they then select people below them however they will
People then strive for recognition and advancement so scientific fraud is rife

Neolib idiots don’t see the (immense) value of fundamental research because it doesn’t directly generate profits, more at 11

They’re not neolibs, they’re fascists. The Democrats are neolibs
Sylvartas@lemmy.world 5 months ago
True, but I don’t think many of them would say that to your face (including musk who I assume would pretend to be neolib, who do kind of have a hate boner for basic research, at least in my country)

Which is stupid, because even video games make you research sticks before you can make nuclear reactors. Guess even entertainment can’t teach dumb shits anything. Just retaining nothing.
Famko@lemmy.world 5 months ago
They’ve never seen a game complicated enough to have research tbf.
djsoren19@yiffit.net 5 months ago
It directly generates profits, they’re just too stupid to understand how.
Sylvartas@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Yeah but sometimes it might not because that is not the main goal ! Useless, I tell you !

The appointment of Elon Musk to lead the proposed department of government efficiency raises concerns, given his track record of business management.
His handling of Twitter/X after its $44 billion acquisition has resulted in a significant decline in its value, with some sources putting the valuation around $9bn.
Doesn’t seem very efficient to me.
Dasus@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Not just significant, I’m pretty sure the loss in value is some sort of a record, for real.
psud@lemmy.world 5 months ago
This idea has been around for a while. Make government more efficient by putting a private enterprise person in charge
It never worked because the private enterprise person got efficiency by having a cool project or forceful personality in the private enterprise which let them pay their employees poorly. Or maybe they paid their employees well and had excellent success. But then they have government employees who are hard to fire, have highly specialist knowledge, aren’t in it for profit and so the private enterprise maverick is usually [worse than] useless
I don’t expect it to work this time either, especially as Musk is more interested in Tesla, SpaceX, and his other companies

Fuck dude, I’m about to get an awesome job with the usda after being unemployed for over 2 years, and time is literally running out for me to get my contract finalized before these ghouls fuck everything.
A kind fuck you to every hexbearite ironically cheering on the destruction of the civilian government workforce.

Jsyk Trump is planning to politicize the beauracracy, so be prepared to be fired for following your moral code/loyalty to the nation over Trump.

Hell can we mention that the cold war era these fucks idolize was also the golden age of the government throwing money at side projects?

How the fuck am I gonna filter US politics out of my feed when it creeps in through Science Memes?BallsandBayonets@lemmings.world 5 months ago
There’s only one way to filter politics out of your time online: don’t go online.

“Haha, I’m insurrection barbie, get it? Because the libs think when Donald Trump lets a massive mob of his supporters to the Capitol to disrupt the election certification process it was an insurrection!”
rational_lib@lemmy.world 5 months ago
The world just keeps getting more and more efficient at being dumb. Let’s just count all the appallingly stupid things crammed into this small meme with 2 million views:
Idiocracy didn’t happen because of unnatural selection, it happened because social media unlocked a runaway chain reaction of stupidity.

Why are people saying that it was named after a cryptocurrency?
Isnt the dog the first thing people think of when seeing “doge”?
zeca@lemmy.eco.br 5 months ago
Its reasonable to make the connection to the coin, as this particular cryptocurrency was propagandized and manipulated by musk, who will be running the agency.
MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 5 months ago
True! It was then technically named after a meme…which the coin named itself after, as it was supposed to be a “meme coin”.
Still stands though.
“Government agency named after meme. Such dumb. So chaos. Woooooow.” Lol
antonim@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 months ago
It used to be so, but in recent several years Doge has lived and pretty much been defined in public consciousness by the cryptocurrency, which Musk has openly endorsed/memed.
TassieTosser@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Is it better to be named after a stupid meme instead?
sleeperdouge@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
It was for me until a few years ago. I used doge as a base for most of my internet alias since I like the meme (as you can see from my username). One time inside a game, I was asked if I was a crypto bro because of my ign. At the time, i don’t like crypto but have no hard feelings against it. Ever since then I loath those crypto bros and their worship of crypto currencies for destroying the image of doge and with their stupid crypto currency nonsense.
