    Is that worse than having knowledge curated by only a few?

      It depends on which few.

      Religiofascists curating science? Dark ages.

      Scientists curating religion? Grifter cults die, only vegan, wicca and Buddhism remains as religions, but everything is well-recorded and studied in its sunset.

      Military curating education? “IM DOING MY PART!”

      Military curating science? MOAR BOMMS

      We could rock-paper-scissors-lizard-spock the shit out of this. We could, but should we?

        Conjecture, or did this happen? If it happened, where and when?

          It can only BE conjecture. Read the room. Remember the grifter cults are still out there. Do math. How is this a question?

      Both are awful in each their own way and we’re so goddamn lucky that they don’t even cancel each other out, they MULTIPLY each other! Wee!
