Science has become a commercial enterprise like so much more things on earth. When there is no financial motivation, progress slows down a lot. What can we do to counter this?

>What can we do to counter this?
Nothing.
The experiments that were serious business 200 years ago can be now replicated in middle school science class.
Today's serious business needs millions, sometimes hundreds of millions in funding.
So you better woo those investors or you can rope yourself.

>What can we do to counter this?
crowdfunding

t. Mars One

sci/tech crowdfunding is already fucked, assholes are conning the fuck out of people left and right with SOLAR FRIGING HIGHWAYS and similar shit

provide a financial motivation.

>provide a financial motivation.
but how? For example, colonizing mars would not bring in any profits for the first 2oo years or so.

>colonizing mars would not bring in any profits for the first 2oo years or so.
Sell reserved patches of land on Mars for your great grandchildren.

what i tought about was creating some sort of american wild west, but in space. Allowing private companies almost free reign and taxing them would secure a constant inflow of money to the state wich could be used to maintain "space police" and for researching new stuff. Just imagine how much money could be made RIGHT NOW by selling mars Land to people

jesus i renember the hype around that kike project back in 2014.

destroy capitalism and create a scientifically-oriented collectivist global society

All the land is taken on earth. Mars maybe?

fuck yes

>Photon Technology


Makes me want to kill sci journalists.

Invest strategically.

Use science to advance technology in a productive and lucrative way like we've done since the dawn of time?

Krauss pls

Bill Nye is promoting that solar sail craft "LightSail" and it is being crowdfunded. Unfortunate about Bill's entertainment decision.

Socialism.
I prefer market anarchism, the problem is capital.

colonizing Mars is not science. I'd even argue that it's detrimental to science. Putting humans on mars may make it impossible to determine if there is life on Mars due to contamination.

If the problem is no financial motivation... Then create financial motivation by monetizing the research at hand. Can't monetize the research? Either you're not creative enough (probably the case) or the research is truly and literally worthless. "research takes time and can't be monetized!!" there's this thing called investments which works for everything but research, or so some not so economically bright researches in self denial seem to think.

Mine asteroids for resources and collapse the world's economy

Couldn't that method in the picture be used to colonize other planets? I mean, imagine that you put embryos of humans into those things, or even just very simple life forms. If it is possible to launch so many of those, you could shoot them at as many planets and moons you can think of and eventually life would flourish.
Could life on Earth be a result of this being done by a civilization a few billion years older than us?

>fusion energy

Remove the "and its derivatives" part from patent law

BBP(Black Budget Projects) are one of the reasons why things are becoming stagnant.

Technocracy.

we didnt find any remaining parts of the vessels
more unlikely than likely

We need to suck investors' disk, oh wait we already do.

ever seen one of those fucking meteorites?

Self improvement

HAIL THE OMNISSIAH

And your point?
No. There's no way to stop the sail at the destination. Embryos would get fucked from the radiation. Plus the chipsats are too small for things like artificial wombs and robot parents

You are disqualified from being a smart person, cease posting here.

We need a new New Deal incorporating a combination of national socialism, fascism, libertarianism and Keynesian economic policies

sup Veeky Forumsentism, how goes life on our digital composite oblate s-pearoid?

Innovation will come through military exploits or large scale government funding or the odd genius.
