I can agree with alot of what is said here , but this is not just happening in science it's the norm to put the benifit of one self before the benifit of others which has the potential to lead to corruption & the break down of trust in society.
Trust has been eroded to the point that there is fierce debate for virtually everything in our world that is pushed by people with an agenda to see thing go in there favour.
The big problem as i see it is if science & the trust in science is eroded to the point where it's somewhat ignored due to the continual debate of its validity by people with their own agenda's , then we as a planet are in trouble as we will need science for our long term survival as we come across some massive problems, like global warming, safe energy production , & the big one that people don't seem to talk about OVER POPULATION & FAMINE
.
we need to promote integrity & honesty & teach it to our children
