Re: NIH Calls on Scientists to Speed Public Release of Research Publications
I think this is good news. I also think it's the first of many things to come. This forum and others is the beginning of something much bigger, something that we can't quite do yet but eventually will: start building an online model of human understanding.
It's the evolution of communication. On the one hand we have an observation and on the other we have others who would be interested in sharing that observation. We build a model of how things are by using these observations.
We'd need a way to add an alternate model, the evidence backing it up, etc. We'd also need a way to 'post' evidence to substantiate or contradict, etc.
The reason we trust the observations of scientists is because we believe that they make careful, unbiased observations about the nature of some aspect of existence. They have a method and we trust that method.
But how do we move forward on something like this and help make it happen...or perhaps this is the way to start?
