If people keep bristling at (and rejecting) the idea that there's a large percentage of knowledge left to learn, it MAY get shut down.

(Thus completing the sentence "WE NOW KNOW EVERYTHING...that we're ever going to have the chance to learn, since we talked ourselves out of our funding.")

You may have added /sarc but I have no problem with it whatsoever. If there are advances to be made at it and it is profitable to do so, then private industry will take it over. In fact I would hope they do so. Either way, shut down federal funding of it.
