Comment Bernie's Slush Fund (Score 1) 195

Bernie wants billion$/trillion$ that he can control and use to pay his political fellow-travelers who can't get real jobs..... Is there any doubt that the "soveriegn wealth fund" will have so many hangers on and bad investment decisions that it won't even have profits to pay dividends? Give the shares directly to all US citizens to be placed in their IRA accounts. Let them decide, not Bernie.

Comment Preserve by analysis and copying (Score 2) 33

All of the preservation efforts for a single, unique item are likely to eventually fail - war, theft, natural disasters, etc. Preserve the works by analysis and wide distribution. The full analysis - multi-spectral imaging, chemistry, 3-d scanning, history, etc. should be available publicly. And, in the tradition of medieval monks, Arabic scribes, and even artists workshops, produce copies for display while attempting to preserve the original.

Comment PhD Scientists working in industry (Score 1) 77

Heaven forbid that a scientist would work outside academia...... I have worked with plenty of MS and PhD scientists who were "lured away" from academia to work in industry. Not by billionaires. Turns out there's lots of interesting work outside of academia, and not everyone wants to play the academia political games.
