My dream: an open science consortium.

My hope, my dream, is one day an organization dedicated to open science, with fair treatment to all scientists is created.

Science must compete in the economic forum as a discretionary, competitive, selfish enterprise because that is what society expects. But each of these descriptors is counter productive to mankind. Even to the goals of science in general.

Society would go farther if scientists worked in a commune. A kibbutz if you will. There are so many ideas to uncover there is enough work to go around for all scientists to contribute.

However, the system is set up to reward less than free exchange of ideas.
