@skdh Agreed—but just like half of all marketing spend is wasted and we don’t know which half, long-term research rarely draws private funds, so public money steps in.

I'll tell you something about the psychology that is going on here. The content of my video is taking the 5 most common arguments that people in academia make for tax-paid research and explain why they are bad arguments. Everyone who has previously made these arguments is now embarrassed, so they lash out at me. There are better arguments you can make for tax-paid research. But (a) academics don't make them and (b) in the end it won't matter. Because let me ask you this. What makes basic research such a special profession that justifies treating it differently from all other professions by funding big parts of it by taxes? What is different about the knowledge that is produced in this sector of our economy than in any other sector? Why, to use the words of Peter Thiel, who I think is a very smart man, do we put scientists on "governmental welfare"? Are you really that blinded by your ideology that you can't see how ridiculously inefficient it is to finance research by "programs" and "initiatives"? Every time a government puts out one of those, suddenly everyone comes up with a research idea on that. Be that AI or quantum something or nanowhatever. You suddenly have too many people working on one thing and too few working on another. And yes, that's exactly the same problem the communists had with their planned economies. The reaction that people have to my video is ironic in that I remember having a conversation about this 20 years ago, it might have been with @robinhanson And my reaction to funding research in any other way than by governmental programs was exactly the same as that which people have now. (Apologies Robin if it wasn't you.) It took me 20 years to realize that we have no other way to measure what is "good" science than economic benefit. So I'll give it 20 years until you arrive at the same conclusion. x.com/oulis0/status/…

Excited to share our latest work in @AdvPortfolio: "Xolography for Biomedical Applications: Dual-color Light-sheet Printing of Hydrogels with Local Control over Shape & Stiffness." First #xolobio step towards high-res, programmable bioprinted constructs @TUeindhoven @xolo3D

🎉 Research Alert in Bioprinting! 🎉 Big congrats to @MiguCastilho, Lena Stöcker, and team on publishing the first-ever bioprinting paper on Xolography in Advanced Materials! Check it out here: advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

Happy new year with great new chemistry! We just disclosed a procedure for spiropyran exchange: doi.org/10.1002/anie.2… Our new method accelerates spiropyran photoswitch development and helps to boost the performance of dual color photoinitiators in xolography @xolo3D

🚀Our latest Advanced Materials paper, "Xolography for 3D Printing in Microgravity," is here! We show how Xolography enables groundbreaking space manufacturing—no tweaks, no limits, just results. 🔗Read it: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100… 🔗Learn more: xolo3d.com/space/ #spacetech

@robindchnt Chatting with familiar faces can boost mood, but it's not a happiness checkbox. The key is genuine interest. If that's not you, no worries—authenticity trumps all in the long run.

plus it's scientifically proven that conversations with "strangers" improve your mood and happiness

Zero-g flights round two! 🚀 Jannes' dreadlocks stealing the show. 180 prints to unpack soon – stay tuned for the results. Flawless flight days! @AirZeroG @DLR_SpaceAgency

Harnessing the unparalleled speed of #xolography and taking it to a new level by producing an endless stream of objects - towards rapid and sustainable volumetric printing 🚀 Extremely proud of this collaboration with John Linkhorst & his team!

Licht macht sichtbar, setzt in Szene & erzeugt Stimmung. Doch wie lässt es sich erforschen & welche Rolle spielt es für den 3D-Druck @xolo3D? In der neuen #AskDifferent-Folge steckt uns Einstein-Professor @SHechtlab @HumboldtUni mit seiner Faszination an: einsteinfoundation.de/podcast/

Research alert! Check out the most recent publication on Xolography in Flow by John Linkhorst and @SHechtlab in Advanced Materials. Pushing the boundaries of volumetric 3D printing and exemplifying what your ideas and our expertise combined can achieve. lnkd.in/eBUX7FGw

@flo Nah, while I acknowledge the nuances of the German system, painting the US school experience like a scene from a teen rom-com seems a tad rose-tinted, don't you think?

@xolography The glass is half empty!

Why can’t 🇩🇪 make high school fun? It’s like a military academy / checklist institution, compared to 🇺🇸 where it’s a wonderful microcosmic subculture full of romance, sports teams, etc…

@robindchnt @martonsn If you're up for a safari-style adventure next time, the Truppenübungsplatz - hidden in the middle of Bosque Verde - is Berlin's answer to the African Savannah. 🦁 And if you fancy a change of altitude, why not try conquering our very own 'montaña del diablo', Teufelsberg? 😄🏔️

Amazing morning run around Costa Grunewald ☀️🌲

@robindchnt Sounds about right: 3 WHUler, die einen CTO für ihre Kernfusionsidee suchen

2023 in Berlin 👇 CTO in Energiewendestartup job post Gehalt: 50.000,00€ - 55.000,00€ pro Jahr Good luck!

💡Shedding light on Xolography in zero-g! Watch as our printer swiftly shapes transparent objects in a bath of radiant light. From a broad view to close-ups of our cuvettes, it's a light-filled dance of speed and precision. #DLR40 #AirZeroG #Novespace #Xolography #3dprinting

Meine deutsche Wortschatzgröße ist ungefähr:【26986】! Was ist mit dir? Und das mit einer knappen Flasche Wein. Könnte geholfen haben. arealme.com/german-vocabul…

🚀 Third and final day of our #XoloVoyage! Watch the work that goes on during our parabola flights. Between calculating, adjusting, and 3D printing, there's hardly a dull moment. Oh, and did we mention the 2G push-ups challenge? #DLR40 #AirZeroG #Novespace #Xolography 🛸

@robindchnt @DLR_SpaceAgency @AirZeroG 🙏

@xolography @DLR_SpaceAgency @AirZeroG Congrats!!

Huge thanks to @DLR_SpaceAgency for selecting us, and kudos to the stellar @AirZeroG team for their professionalism - from prep to parabolas, hardware repairs to herding floating Xolonauts! 🚀 #XoloVoyage #DLR40 #AirZeroG
