Politics in Science
Probably most lead researchers in scientific laboratories around the globe are vulnerable to errors or even fabrication of data by their students.

You are paying lots of money to learn lies. Read the rest:http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/102834.html
The journey from establishment zombification is a long and arduous one. It takes a bold step to accept that mostly everything that you've ever learned was a lie — a disgusting, evil one at that — and that you've actually paid good money to 'learn' these things. I ebbed back and forth between neoliberalism and libertarianism, since it is difficult to maintain one's social life, let alone sanity, living on a college campus of Obama-loving ignoramuses.
Back in the early/mid 90s, this scene always stuck out from the movie, The Hunt for Red October: A dying Soviet military leader dreams about living in the US and travelling state-to-state without being stopped to show his papers
Capt. Vasili Borodin: I will live in Montana. And I will marry a round American woman and raise rabbits, and she will cook them for me. And I will have a pickup truck... maybe even a "recreational vehicle." And drive from state to state. Do they let you do that?
Captain Ramius: I suppose.
Capt. Vasili Borodin: No papers?
Captain Ramius: No papers, state to state.
Economist Gary North observes:
If you want to know why the Senate could vote 93 to 7 to incarcerate Americans without trial, and not get deluged in protests, visit her [the sex ed girl] YouTube channel. Americans have other concerns besides the Constitution.

Value is subjective. Most people place a higher value on entertainment than on individual liberty. They have short timer preferences.
Python is too verbose compared to Ruby.
Ruby is too verbose compared to Factor.
People should be using Oberon instead of C++.
The mediocrity and incompetence you put up in the office would drive me to sadness and to quit.
You are willing to sacrifice everything for a home in the suburbs.
Your response: "What's the big deal?"
Which is why you compensate with marketing: You have no talent for creation and re-invention.
A wise old economist recently pointed out that MIT-trained math jocks posing as economists, such as Krugman, are best described as "idiot savants" (exhibiting and odd and atypical brilliance in doing math problems but rather an idiot in general).

They have taken over economics and astro-physics. What else will they take over?
I hope you fail. The problem is not lack of customer feedback. It's lack of talent. People who can't make something better rely on focus groups and surveys. Look at the best industrial designers. They can make a product better with little customer feedback. Why? They use the product and have empathy. You lack talent. No amount of customer feedback is going to turn you into an industrial designer.
His achievements would still be replicated. People across the world, in similar economic conditions, will have the same problem, and come up with similar solutions. Creativity is mostly determined by need and economic conditions. In the example below, we see Konrad Zuse building a computer that is competitve against another computer built by a team that included Alan Turing. Zuse went on to create a digital computer that used a programming language. Genius is common when the economic conditions are similar to one another.
1938 saw the return of (Babbage's) computer technology, which had been forgotten for a century, with the practical innovation of digital technology, in the form of the Z1. A single creative mind in a private workshop came to the same results as the huge, hectic intelligence operation within the creative framework of Bletchley Park - independently and simultaneously. The much-sponsored COLOSSUS in England (Bletchley Park had at its disposal the equipment and workforce of an entire factory) as opposed to the low-budget computers of the Z(use) series in Germany. The two were never played off against one another.

It's also a little funny how practically every person with a modern computer has the equivalent computational power of a 1990's super computer and yet the only thing they are willing to do with is post status updates about what their shit looked like this morning.
