Well, I wouldn’t say all barriers…

Ethical matters, such as experimentation on animals and especially humans, need barriers in place. We don’t need another Josef Mengele

But I agree with the intended sentiment

Also, we need barriers related to quality, otherwise you get shit like Andrew Wakefield trying to sell his alternative vaccine, and in the process creating the modern antivax movement

On board with both of you.

Science that isn't ethical science is a huge problem we can't just wave away, and science that isn't good science is also a huge problem we can't just wave away.

On the other hand, good science that is also ethical science can be immensely useful when it helps to describe the world and predict things that could happen accurately.

True science! Without compassion, decency, and humanity.

Yay...

Love it, doubly so since it has a raven on it.

New desktop after I run it thru Upscayl.
