Money was centralised and corrupted - Bitcoin was the response.
Social interaction online was centralised and corrupted - Nostr was the response .
Science is centralised and corrupt - what should the response be, and why has there (to my limited knowledge ) been no attempt to create a censorship resistant , decentralised scientific protocol ?
It is desperately needed .

I suspect that if the money was properly cleaned up, it would have a beneficial knock on effect, in terms of 'the science'.
(Self financing governments no longer able to subsidise certain areas of research, at the expense of others, or perpetuate junk science / outright lies, that fulfil their agenda of keeping people weak and easy to control).
If there was a return to sound money, and we moved on from a debt based monetary system (& it's subsequent inflation), the cost of *all* goods would trend toward zero, over time.
This would mean that equipment for carrying out research would become more available to the average person, and would no longer be something large centralised instutions had a monopoly on.
When you think about better equipment, in the hands of more individuals, who are able to compare notes via unfiltered communication channels, and share their findings at large....
It starts to sound like a return to what science used to be, before grifters figured out how to strip mine it, in a bid to line their own pockets.
Like most things, I think decentralised science starts at home. With personal responsbility, and a desire to seek the truth, in all things.
It was one of the first things proposed for steemit blockchain forum.
What would "a censorship resistant , decentralised scientific protocol" be compromised of, exactly?
