Why scientific study is so slow today

One purpose of science is continuous improvement; especially on the human health front. Scientific study today is highly bottlenecked. It’s made to be very expensive and not many people do it. The PhD program is a bottleneck itself, so, by design, it prevents most people from doing research. We can easily educate and mobilize everyone to the simple task of making accurate scientific observations. Society could be designed to encourage people to enjoy researching anything and everything; and make it a very positive, fulfilling part of our day. Enjoy it, have fun with it! Instead, everybody on Earth is encouraged to enjoy themselves randomly and do nothing on the front of gaining real knowledge. We pay attention to media to see what other people have researched. Scientific research is bottlenecked by design… WHY? Simple: It’s to have high control and visibility over what is researched. It has been decided that technology is dangerous, and, therefore, research shall be bottlenecked to restrict and have tight control over the effort. Covert scientific development is unrestricted. Covert science, therefore, is where real cutting edge discovery happens, and it’s either kept covert for whatever reason (strategic advantage, national security, etc) or it’s made public at some point. Two worlds exist side by side; the public and the covert.

Multiply scientific study by 1000… we could easily be doing that every day. The covert / public dichotomy is the reason we are not doing it. Everybody can contribute to science, not just PhDs. Leaders deem it too dangerous to allow it, so progress occurs very slowly compared to what could be. It’s amazing how much progress we would very quickly make if the design of society was to make progress, but the design of society is to not make progress.
