something that stands out about this is just how cheap it is for us to have world-leading scientific capacity
we spent ~6.75 trillion last year, and the combined budgets for NIH, NSF and NASA are barely more than 1% of that
what an incredible waste to lose it all for a drop in the bucket

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

You've no doubt heard that the Great Library of Alexandria was destroyed in a fire and with it, centuries of knowledge, learning & prose.
But that's not the ACTUAL story.
The TRUE story of the destruction of the Great Library of Alexandria has more to teach us than the myth.
