“For better or worse, Jason Kelly says he foresees a day when the practice of science is democratized.”
The stupidest thing I have ever heard. They tried it with China flu and darn near destroyed our economy and killed people. Politics has no place in science or you get crap like climate change and trans-gender shiite.
It appears to me the author is not disagreeing with you.
By “the practice of science is democratized” I think the author means everyone will be able to practice science, not just government funded bureaucracies.
Science was orignaly done by people in private who published their results.
It only became a bureaucratic endeavor during and after WWII.
