The global R&D finance system is a collective psychosis. It is counter-productive and needs to be replaced by our solution for financing R&D.
Wondered?
- If what this blog says is true, then everybody is a psycho.
- Not in the clinical sense—but in the systemic one. The logic of today’s society turns good intentions into collective madness.
Society’s Rational Illusion
We believe modern institutions are rational—universities, grant agencies, philanthropies. But the evidence says otherwise.
- We misallocate resources: see People Are Bad in Distributing Money.
- We reward gatekeepers, not truth: How Does the Economy of Monopolies Work in Science?.
- We ignore vital discoveries: Mathematics: Ordered Semigroup Actions.
When inefficiency, bias, and apathy become routine, irrationality becomes the new normal. Modern society functions like a coordinated psychosis: collectively certain we’re sane.
A Psychiatric Rediscovery
Psychiatrists already know that stress, cognitive dissonance, and delusion are epidemic. The blog simply extends that idea to the collective level:
our global civilization behaves like a patient unaware of its condition.
We hoard wealth while knowledge starves. We glorify “impact factors” over impact. We ignore the moral duty to fund discovery.
As written in Why Is the Bologna System a Crap?, education trains conformity, not curiosity.
What Rationality Would Look Like
If sanity means allocating resources intelligently and compassionately, then sanity requires systemic reform.
- Continuous, algorithmic, open funding: Scientific Funding.
- Self-correcting markets for good: How Is AIIM Better Than Gitcoin and Giveth?.
- New professional class: Science Marketers.
- Moral reintegration:
Evangelicals,
Catholics,
Atheists,
Buddhists.
That’s not ideology—it’s a therapy plan for humanity.
The Diagnosis
If you think you’re rational but you support irrational systems—you’re part of the psychosis.
Our global mind is split: one side knows science can save us, the other funds its suppression.
As the article How Science DAOs Could Multiply Global GDP argues, the cure is structural: open, algorithmic redistribution of knowledge capital.
The Treatment
- Acknowledge the illness: recognize that the market of good intentions is broken.
- Support AI Internet-Meritocracy (AIIM): an always-on allocator of funds to science and open knowledge.
- Donate rationally: Donation.
- Spread awareness: share, comment, discuss—help others see the systemic psychosis for what it is.
Because if everyone is a psycho, salvation isn’t individual—it’s institutional.
👉 Help fund the next public test of AIIM.
Help Test a New Way to Fund Science
AI Internet-Meritocracy (AIIM) is an operational beta designed to allocate available donations to researchers and open-source developers using AI-assisted evaluation of documented contributions. Payment transactions are already recorded on-chain.
The next major evidence milestone is a proposed five-month public adversarial test of the allocation model, with $1,000 distributed to eligible funding recipients. Donations help pay for the development, infrastructure, reviewer and participant recruitment, outreach, and operating work needed to reach and evaluate that milestone.
You do not need to assume AIIM is already proven to support the project. Your donation helps turn the proposal into evidence: what works, what fails, and what should change.

Independent review
Researchers and technical reviewers: independent criticism is welcome, including negative conclusions. Review AIIM’s assumptions, governance, failure modes, and testing plan →
Research status: AIIM remains experimental. AI-generated evaluations can contain factual errors or biases, and decentralized governance and non-custodial components remain under development. That uncertainty is why public testing, auditability, and external criticism are central to the project.
My brother suggested I may like this website. He was once totally right. This publish actually made my day. You cann’t consider just how much time I had spent for this info! Thanks!
