Drewelite@lemmynsfw.com âš7â© âšmonthsâ© agoYeah, theyâre both pretty wildly off base. Publishing papers that are vetted and used as a foundation for other work is science. Also, sorry, but developing advancements behind closed doors is still science. Oppenheimerâs secret research for the government is pretty fucking foundational. Thomas Edison wasnât interested in sharing his ideas, but rather in selling them. Everyone remembers him.
This argument reads like two people having an ego trip past each other.

You were correct in the first, but the things youâre describing are product research and development.
All super important, but not exactly what I call science as a socially beneficial activity humans do specifically to learn the truths of the universe.
