Bryan Bryan criticizes science policy as culture war-driven
6 reported
In a blog post on Marginal Revolution, Kevin Bryan criticized current science policy, calling it a "red tape-filled science policy of 'losers.'" Bryan argued that focusing on cutting funds from DEI-driven professors in small departments is less important than maintaining the world's strongest fundamental science. He described the policy as driven by "right-wing JD-brain" folks who have not worked in a lab and do not understand how advances like AI and cancer breakthroughs were achieved. Bryan also expressed dislike for the term "administration priorities," stating that the President executes laws created by Congress. He warned that tools normalized by one administration could be inherited by future administrations, potentially damaging American institutions. Bryan concluded that the culture war is a civil war and that American science will be collateral damage if it is not ended.
