Thinking of getting vaccinated?

Please explain how time, as a resource, is limited.

We've been through this before.

That question would suggest you have a fundamental misunderstanding as to the nature of pretty much everything.

Did science die with Aristotle? Did it die with Galileo? How about Einstein - did it die with him?

Perhaps you think science will die with Stephen Hawking.

For someone who loves to tell us how intelligent he is, you present yourself as spectacularly stupid sometimes.

Bollox, it's not "science" that funds scientific knowledge, it's commercial entities. And strangely enough they tend to drop dead if they spend more than they earn.

Go ahead, try it, flog all your tyres at cost.

And as far as the cost of adding knowledge by "answering" the deluge of mindless Big Pharma conspiracy accusations is concerned it's long since exceeded any rational budget in terms of it's value. Worse, the associated anti-science bullshit can really only be expressed in terms of "negative knowledge".

Science is funded by Government grants, companies and non profit organisations not just commerical entities.

Here's a thought experiment (which might be difficult for you) to show why your statement is moronic (which, in light of your last retort is hilariously ironic)

Imagine that Sir Isaac Newton decided to spend all of his time on something that was already well understood, as opposed to tackling something that WASN'T understood at all.





Whilst science is a process of learning, recording and passing on to the next generation - it is still people (with finite time to do things and make discoveries) that drive science forward.

All of which use money.

Any of which cease to exist if they spend more than they earn.

The notion resources are infinite and that medicine or it's related fields should supply everything possible to everyone possible regardless of cost is childish drivel.

Whoa there, all I'm replying to is your incorrect statement about science funding.

[TheDemonLord]

...

Well, when you decide to stop digging, let me know....

Afterall - how many times have you suggested that something needs to be dug into....

[Ocean1]

As I was replying to your incorrect statement that grants, companies and npos weren't commercial entities.

[Zedder]

Commercial entities are involved in selling goods or a service plus they pay tax, duties and fees. A grant doesn't come under this nor does a npo.

Not a conventional description.

They trade, they use commercial assets, and indeed most of them sell shit and buy shit. They compete, (often unfairly) with other commercial entities. They are, in fact commercial entities.

More to the point, if they fail to manage their cash flow as a commercial entity they die.

Pretty much exactly what I said innit?

So what exactly do you think the difference is?

So where do npos and grants come in if they don't pay taxes etc as my definition states commercial entities do?
