6. Recognizing that reality isn’t anti-science; it’s acknowledging privilege and accountability.
If my uncle asks: why I had to make my small business with blood sweat instead of a seed money w/o expectation of return w interest and scientists already have it and feel being under attack,I will be 🤐

5. When the economy tightens, it’s natural for citizens to expect that money to go first to healthcare, wages, and education.
Scientists can and should diversify how they fund their work — through philanthropy, industry, or private partnerships — the same way others invest in their own careers.

4. Many early scientists were self-funded, or backed by philanthropic patrons and industry labs. Public funding made science more stable and accessible — and that’s a good thing.
But it also created a system very few professions enjoy: job security, pensions, and recurring public grants.

3. These go back to mid-20th-century discoveries, made during the golden age of public expansion, not timeless proof that every curiosity changes the world.
Most early universities were built by private donors or religious endowment, long before governments began funding research.

2. Take those 7 “basic science” discoveries everyone is citing — if you dig deeply, you’ll see that the funding behind them were mixed of private public funds, the flat TV was fully funded privately. And of course non of them led to applied tech with public funds, only private R&D made them useful.

Thanks! I’ll check it out!

Which book btw? (I hardly come across English resources for this so I have nothing to recommend to others as a Persian 🙈)

Yes it can be true! The word is a combine word of «دول آب» in Persian which means wheel of water (the name for the water apparatus thingy). The combination word is formed over time. So it is Persian in roots and transferred in both languages.
And the Achaemenid empire! Nice choice ;)

This is also a loan word in Farsi! (Though with a slight change in pronunciation )

3/ Mine is grounded in lived experience and research. The goal isn’t to accuse, but to understand.
When systems reward “fit,” who is left out and why?
I hope this piece invites reflection and dialogue on how institutions can make belonging genuine.

2/ I tackled this from a broader view with a focused on Quebec because it’s where I live, where language, identity & access overlap in deeply personal ways.
Many conversations on this borrow U.S. frameworks. But Quebec deserves its own reflection.
