To Save Innovation, We Need to Change Science
My latest article:
Science's primary activity is discovery. It aims to explain how the world works, and we can use that knowledge to improve our world. Over the centuries, science has developed the scientific method. It is one of mankind’s greatest inventions as it helps to advance our knowledge of the world. However, there are multiple problems with it.
