RE: We Need to Decentralize Scientific Research!
Science is to a large extent already "by the people", since anyone can be a scientist. You don't have to be ordained by God, or possess the celibate steeliness of a Catholic priest, or a monied parent, or come from a long lineage or aristocrats, etc. And as far as I'm aware, there is no worthy research that didn't come to the light eventually, or any worthy scientist who was ever successfully muzzled by other scientists. Yes, some scientists were given hell sometimes, but it's the same everywhere you look, like the arts, literature, etc. It seems to me that humans - not scientists specifically - are inherently resistant to change, and to ideas that challenge their held views.
Nope, you just have to get a PHD... A fundamentally similar process. Check out 'disciplined minds' who goes to great lengths to discuss this issue.
"And as far as I'm aware, there is no worthy research that didn't come to the light eventually, or any worthy scientist who was ever successfully muzzled by other scientists."
As far as you're aware? Or, do you believe that this doesn't happen on a regular basis. I can go through the minimal effort it will take to bring examples. But, I'm sure that you're not suggesting this.
I'm saying science (v) has been taken over by science (n) which engages as any large organization would through power, coercion and maintaining the status quo.
What I'm saying here is nothing to deal with change, or resistance to change. Etc.
With this post I'm detailing some solutions to funding as restricted access to money is probably the #1 method for our establishment to control science research. Sure, plenty of scientists may have bold, status-quo defying, revolutionary hypothesis they would like to research. But, can never do so because they don't have money...

You can literally be a housewife and publish in a respected journal. You can be an autodidact. All you have to do is prove that what you're saying is true. Your experiences with telepathy for instance are quite easy to prove, and don't really require much funding, besides buying sandwiches for people so they don't go hungry during the experiment.
So you're saying there are people who discovered the future equivalent of electricity, or who have cured cancer, but the establishment muzzles them? I know about fuel-alternatives or whatever, but I don't consider those successful attempts at muzzling, nor is it Science's fault, it's monied interests'.
That I agree with. Don't know how 'plenty' they are, but they sure do exist.
Again, I will read your other articles, it's just I'm kinda swamped at the moment!
Hahah no worries! Thanks for the info. Correcting me on words I didn't truly mean. Sure, you can get published I was simply referring to getting a Ph.D. (which is typically required if one is going to get any sort of funding). I mean, marge simpson got published remember ;)
Sure, there's plenty of cures for cancer... Hemp Oil is a good start ;)

Going to take a lot of sandwhichs, because it only works every now and again ;)
