Patrick Collison on Supercharging Science

My notes by minutes

1:40 - science being too bureaucratic: excessively standardardized, and strictly organized, controlled by centralized big government bodies.
3:50 - hard to avoid calcification, need faster, less bureaucratised efforts
6:45 - lessons from fast grants, would be terrible if all funding would happen in this way as it doesnt work for all kinds of relevant projects, but its well suited for urgent research, more explorations and mechanisms should be explored
9:45 - big US science funding institutions should explore more funding experiments
11:45 - jokes that 1971 was the year when the stagnation started, mentioning https://​​wtfhappenedin1971.com/​​
