RE: We Need to Decentralize Scientific Research!

Nope, you just have to get a PHD

You can literally be a housewife and publish in a respected journal. You can be an autodidact. All you have to do is prove that what you're saying is true. Your experiences with telepathy for instance are quite easy to prove, and don't really require much funding, besides buying sandwiches for people so they don't go hungry during the experiment.

As far as you're aware? Or, do you believe that this doesn't happen on a regular basis. I can go through the minimal effort it will take to bring examples. But, I'm sure that you're not suggesting this.

So you're saying there are people who discovered the future equivalent of electricity, or who have cured cancer, but the establishment muzzles them? I know about fuel-alternatives or whatever, but I don't consider those successful attempts at muzzling, nor is it Science's fault, it's monied interests'.

Sure, plenty of scientists may have bold, status-quo defying, revolutionary hypothesis they would like to research. But, can never do so because they don't have money...

That I agree with. Don't know how 'plenty' they are, but they sure do exist.

Again, I will read your other articles, it's just I'm kinda swamped at the moment!

Hahah no worries! Thanks for the info. Correcting me on words I didn't truly mean. Sure, you can get published I was simply referring to getting a Ph.D. (which is typically required if one is going to get any sort of funding). I mean, marge simpson got published remember ;)

Sure, there's plenty of cures for cancer... Hemp Oil is a good start ;)

"Your experiences with telepathy for instance are quite easy to prove, and don't really require much funding, besides buying sandwiches for people so they don't go hungry during the experiment."

Going to take a lot of sandwhichs, because it only works every now and again ;)
