China is going to devour the scientific world if we keep it like this

[–] djsoren19@yiffit.net 13 points 1 day ago

Won't happen, or at least won't be useful if it does. Lotta Chinese authors are faking data for the sake of the CCP and their studies don't replicate. If that takes over, it'll be like a global Dark Age.

Going to continue devouring the scientific world with lots of smart Westerners leaving the new SlaveTastic^tm^ USA

Republicans deserve no progress. Let them fall back into the ages they desire. No Smartphones. That's which science.

A scientific monopoly is a bad thing regardless who you cheer for

I agree with the sentiment, but disagree that this is a scientific monopoly. Socialist countries correctly view science as a collaborative process whose fruits belong to society at large. As an American, I fully understand the concern: we've seen how our government used a scientific monopoly, and it was to create a capitalist world hegemony that we're still suffering in. But it's important to remember that they're not us. I'm not just talking about morality either: China and it's allies simply have none of the incentives to do what we did, and many incentives to do the opposite.
