CV and mad panic behaviour

[LP]

So much money wasted because of political and social constructs, proving and re-proving things that were already self-evident, debunking subjectivity and myth. You get to the end of this costly process, and the nutters still won't believe, because their beliefs are based in fantasy and conspiracy. No matter what evidence gets provided they will just "invent a fresh fantasy" to negate it!

While I'm happy to see yet another validation of the real science, I'm not happy that people keep putting their hand up for grants to study this over and over again. It in effect steals money from the sort of research that really needs to be done.

Is this waste the true cost of deregulated social media?
