I love this - such a clear and lovely description of what research communication could be!
If we want more reproducible science, then we have to make science easier to reproduce.
Here is an early demo of a step towards that: Scalable, one-click access to re-run the LIVE code & data behind the study.

Ok now do fossil fuels
One thing I didn’t expect in the wake of the CEO shooting is the sudden attention on health insurance policy. I have seen this video and the BCBS policy itself go viral on almost every platform. People are waking up. Real lasting change in healthcare is coming. youtube.com/shorts/vWA2a...

6. Posting preprints actually protects you from scooping & enables you to establish priority.
In fact, an increasing number of journals recognise preprints for priority claims & in anti-scooping policies.

Born open means born with integrity baked in
The more open the scientific process is, the harder it is to fake. If all the information is open and available, it is easier to confirm. If a researcher doesn’t share their data, you should start from a position of skepticism. Open by default is the best approach

Peter Thiel spoke at the RNC in 2016!
He lamented the evils of women's suffrage—in writing, in 2009, in a paper in which he also wrote: "I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible."
These men (all men) are best understood as the Ayn Rand style 'libertarians' they've always been
