No, the Trump administration needs to not cut funding for science that disagrees with their worldview.

They need to cut funding until academia stops gamifying the research process. Aka cheating. It's bizarre to hear the stories that come out of this twisted world and then seeing them expect to keep getting paid the same.

Do you genuinely believe that every single research lab is cheating and should thus be punished across the board?

		Whenever I have dug into views like these, this is not a rational view based on first principles, it's about carrying out culture war based on a very odd phrase I heard first here on Hacker News: "elite conflict." Destruction of scientific research is viewed as a positive win for the culture war. The particulars, what's actually happening with science, is completely secondary to discrediting the institution as a whole.

It's bizarre to hear the words that come out of this administration's mouth on... Almost any topic, and then see an actual person actually arguing that anything those people say or do needs to be defended.

Have you considered holding it to the same standard you want to hold your enemies to?
