My assertion? I'm just giving the facts. Science is funded largely by
government.  Most scientists are employed in education or are funded
through the military budget. Government controls the education system
to a large extent and runs the military on a monopoly basis. That's
part of how society is currently organized. What made you think that
this wasn't the case? And what made you think that others here also
deny these undeniable facts? Since you've never done epistemology, what
gave you the illusion that you knew anything about it?

The question is whether science will change once society is structured
differently. Some believed the Trabant was the perfect car and that no
other cars needed to be sold. Would "science" stand any chance if
funding patterns changed?  Would there still be "science", or would its
fate be similar to the Trabant?
