Another Attack on Science

Too much reading for a saturday morning. The Brits have always been on the forefront of everything - they are currently refocusing the direction of academic science. The comments are as interesting as the article.

Expecting academics to be the primary ice-cutters of the new and innovative is completely foolish. The education system as it stands now trains robots to think within certain borders. The dominance of result over integrity of method has led to a complete confusion of the terms science and technology. The revision in our means of thought will come from a different direction than mainstream education. College is a waste of time and money, unless you are interested in a body of specific knowledge in a field from the POV of a specific individual. Choose your mentor wisely, as they serve as self-appointed gate-keepers of importance in their fields. Note the possessive tense.

Be ready to learn from a completely different source - ourselves. The information is howdt there to be put together in different ways. What is coming depends on perspective. This long article demonstrates the dangers in listening to official sources rather than assessing the validity of tidbits on our own. Note that the source is itself questionable. When rolling through the aethers of the web, i constantly search for validation from multiple trusted sources. My advice - grow a crop of something for trade-able seed this spring.

Wow Anonymous don't you know the news is designed to lead you away from free choice not into pro-activeness. We must remain vigilant if we are to maintain a leading edge on information. Dr Lenny and I will be co creating a platform that presents one the resource to truth and skill.
