this reminds me of a distinction I made a while ago between the "entrepreneurial" mindset (risk-taking, willing to distort reality within bounds) vs the "scientific" mindset (truth-oriented, cautious, skeptical). but this post made me realize that what I call the "entrepreneurial" mindset can be useful in science too!

Amazing. Yes! Bad projects. Good projects. Science. Pseudo science. Success. Failure. Lies. Fraud... all of that you wrote ...and I could not NOT think of Rupert Sheldrake's theories on "Resonance" - on the "Field" ... Once an idea or a practice is out there... it will be used....one way or the other!

thank you for this fascinating piece - again!

PS By the way what did you think of the movie Oppenheimer... ? I want to see it and I dont want to see it.... 🤔
