america 2.0.24: science funding

over the years 

since that big enlightenment 

we've been pulled

beyond our atmosphere 

by scientists 

from every country 

from every race, religion, sex

.

we have also seen hucksters 

we have seen cover ups

we have seen honest mistakes 

these have only slowed us

we have learned much

from science

.

in the future of america 

science funding should be 

anonymous to the scientists 

and the research topics public

with intermediate results published

like open-sourced code

science can lift everyone equally 

into the clouds of our own data

.

imagine the power of cooperative 

rather than trade secret research
