I say put an end to government funded science. If the government wishes to obtain the many benefits of science, they can purchase them from the private sector. Then science and scientists will be forced to compete with each other in the free market (just like every other endeavor worth its salt).

OK. And you think this is the likely means by which this will be resolved, and you're sure it will be?

I have to admit, the idea of private sector nuclear weapons development is kind of interesting.

That’s how I think it should be resolved. Both paradigms should be forced to compete in the free market. It’s as American as apple pie.
