obviously

no one's paying 100k for meaningless studies without a large element of coercion

>>8629108
Yes is is. What do we do to fix public education/bring education to the private sector?

But people already study agricultural science and philosophy majors already pump gas.

everyone wants to go to space, but no one's going to pay for it without the promise of eventual profit

The irony is that the guy in pic related is a crank of an """academic""" who offers little of tangible or practical value to society, his batshit insane Austrian economics pet theories notwithstanding.

Reminder that arguing against libertarian anarchy is literal rape.

if we didn't have studies showing relationships between poverty and crime then mongoloids from /pol/ would be everywhere.

that's not what he said though


it's just obvious from the post that this person is trying to create a /pol/ bogeyman on /sci/ (probably still experiencing post-election butthurt) instead of making valid criticisms

>>8629108
Ofcourse it is true, the only thing that will make that happen is the removal of money and gold = value of life

>>8629255
>ableist
He is clearly trying to satirize (or worse yet, falseflag) what he perceives as the SJW menace on /sci/, but it doesn't hold because we call each other brainlet retards all day, so he just looks like another out of place /pol/tard who doesn't know his audience.

Except African American Vernacular English is one of the largest language divides in progress in modern times, and it's one of the few times it has been possible to do such research, unlocking valuable information on how languages evolve.

Except knowledge on the love life of mosquitoes might unlock new ways to, for example, mass sterilize mosquito populations on Africa, helping contain diseases like malaria, dengue, or the zika virus.

Except laissez-faire professional bullshitters like Hans-Hermann Hoppe still, to this date, claim that the link between poverty and crime is not clear, that people are poor because they are lazy, and that more research is needed, so research is continued, and the cycle closes.

Funny enough, the science of potato growing was mostly developed in pre-capitalist times, some as folklore, some as actual lord-sponsored research. And I'm pretty sure oil research is one of the most "bulky" economies out there, clearly outclassing linguistics, entomology, or sociology in the budget department.

In short, get a job, dumb "an"cap

No. Nobody would go through the years of training and paying for education (because in his libertarian fanfic you'd be paying out the ass for a degree) to make the same amount you'd get waiting tables at the local Red Lobster.

>claim that the link between poverty and crime is not clear

it's not at all clear you dumbass

politicians and businessman are just as prone to crime as poor people, just not violent crime, other types of crime and moral deviations.

and even the correlation between poverty and violent crime is unclear, as violent crime has skyrocketed before despite significant decrease in poverty.

>>8629422
According to the dumbass in OP's pic, the link is clear. But of course, as I said, people like you say it isn't. So that's why people keep researching it. Please note how I haven't said whether the link is or isn't clear in my opinion.

Absolutely. Things that don't yield immediate benefits will always have to be subsidized.

that's not valuable information

what about how languages evolve isn't obvious?

> mass sterilize mosquito populations on Africa, helping contain diseases like malaria, dengue, or the zika virus.

maybe that was a bad example, but we see retarded shit all the time from humanities in general

Typically bullshit humanities research is highly political and involves the results of a stupid survey.

> the science of potato growing was mostly developed in pre-capitalist times

So people developed agriculture before the economic system of capitalism? How fascinating.

>>8629501
>what about how languages evolve isn't obvious?
What about the fact that the earth moves isn't obvious (from our 21st century perspective)? It's a matter of actual data collecting. Spoken languages used to leave no record. We have an opportunity to study that now.

>So people developed agriculture before the economic system of capitalism? How fascinating.
Capitalism exists at most since the 17th century. Please tell me you're not one of those people who think the feudal system was capitalist.

The way the earth moves has been understood for a long time. It is obvious. The Mayans even had an accurate calender.

Why should we study language development? It's not like it's a big mystery in the first place.

> Capitalism exists at most since the 17th century. Please tell me you're not one of those people who think the feudal system was capitalist.

People have been growing different shit since the neolithic revolution. My implication was that adoption of the potato before the adoption of capitalism isn't surprising. You have to be stupid to not realize he was talking about using the tools of modern biology, advanced as they are, to improve potatoes

and the 17th century was the beginning of capitalism. Infact, the Dutch/British east india company formed exactly in 1603/1600. It's called "merchant capitalism," google it

also the adoption of potatoes ended up killing a bunch of people. It was disastrous.

You both missed the point, he was being a smarmy cunt saying that instead of researchers they'd be gas station workers or potato farmers

>>8629108
No. Governments could be abolished entirely and businesses would still hire STEM graduates at worthwhile pay for the development of new software, chemistry, engineering, space travel - anything. Government solely exists to rob the working people, government is the largest, most profitable, most successful scam in human history.

DUDE JUST SURRENDER SCIENCE TO CAPITALISM

Cut funding to all social sciences and humanities, because nobody needs any of that shit.
The only thing they should teach in schools is STEM, period. Everything else should be up to the parents to supplement with home schooling. Teach your kids the history YOU want them to believe in, rather than the dogma they're brainwashed with in schools today.

It's well known that crime rates tend to be higher in more densely populated areas (which makes sense, given most crime is opportunistic).
