You are making the assumption that funding science research produces knowledge. I don’t think that’s true. Instead it produces ideological nonsense, like people claiming there are 18 genders. If funding science worked, we should have gain substantial knowledge over the last few decades. Instead, most of the gains came from private research, and most of the public funding produced papers nobody reads and ideologies that are insane.
Is there any source that we can look to to determine where most of the gains have come from? I would believe that most modern gains in Computers/Internet/etc came from commercial/private industry, but back at the beginning it was military/government.
I personally know scientists that rewrite their grant proposals to hit the buzzwords for the current administration. I also know some that do not need to. I have not been in private industry for almost 30 years, but when I was, the researchers that I supported were always focused on a possible ROI, and competitive edge over other companies in the same field...
So maybe public funding works in some cases where there is no private industry competition, but not other situations.
What percentage of federal funding is devoted to claiming there's 18 genders? Can you point to a single NSF or NIH funded project that is promoting this?
