Practical Guide to Policy Advocacy for AIIM in Europe, the United States, and Worldwide
AI Internet-Meritocracy—AIIM—is a proposed infrastructure for distributing funding to scientists and open-source developers according to assessed contribution, usefulness, dependency, and research impact. Instead of relying exclusively on applications, institutional prestige, […]
How Government Research Funding Makes Science Worse
Government funding has enabled major scientific achievements, from space exploration and particle physics to vaccines, public-health systems, and fundamental mathematics. Many important research programs would be impossible without public money. […]
From USSR to Blockchain: Comparing Centralized and Decentralized Science Systems
By 2026, decentralized science has moved from crypto-native experimentation into a serious funding layer for translational research, where tokenized intellectual property, major venture syndicates, patient communities, and institutional diligence now […]
Why It Is Important to Donate to Science — and Why Government Financing of Science Is Broken
Why Donate to Science? Science is one of the highest-leverage ways to improve human life. A single discovery can create new medicines, better energy systems, safer AI, stronger infrastructure, and […]
