Science isn't "deeply flawed", sorry, that's nonsense. Are there some players here and there that try and abuse the system, of course. These players are then rooted out and exposed, that's how it works. If someone tries to hurry research, someone else will discover it.

This entire "capitalism is the root of all evil" is nonsense too. At its core, it's the freedom to trade directly with one another and there is nothing wrong with it. Strong rules need to be in place to control that process ans the lack of that is what causes do many issues, especially in the US.

Just writing on your mobile phone, claiming science is deeply flawed, is just facepalmingly stupid.

If you really think that the core of capitalism is what you described, you have no clue what you are talking about. Funny, that you ended that by calling other peoples claims stupid.

Just out of curiosity, what do you think capitalism is?
