Such an important aspect of saving civilization. I see this adjacent to a medical ethics project that conceived more than a year ago. Ethics plays a big part of this. I don't understand the block chain part, but if it solves a major obstacle, let's do it.

While he is a critic of peer review in general, I feel like Denis Rancourt is a great example by publishing much of his own research at denisrancourt.ca (his website).
He is also starting a new initiative at correlation-canada.org that seems to be the next level up, while not quite reaching the heights of what you've described here. Hopefully as more academics get together motivated to tackle this problem, enough demand will materialize.
Edit: Forgot to also mention Kevin McCairn who aims to crowdfund and livestream research through various platforms synapteklabs.com
Great article. I heard Dr. Gu's insistence that the "big studies" are the best studies. So naive. I spent 40 years in pharma/biotech and can't believe that physicians still don't know who controls the entire narrative on virtually every drug class.
👏👏👏👍👌🙏🙏 Yep. And more yep. I'd go one further and not just decentralise, but activate more Citizen Scientists, so we make sure we dont repeat the "silo" effect, that can be present, even in decentralised systems.
Have you looked at the nostr protocol. Looks very interesting. Its just being used for messages and micro payments on the lightning network at the moment, but its very simple and flexible. Im sure it will have broad application, library and peer review were my first thoughts.
I think decentralizing the peer review process is a great start but alone it cannot solve the rampant fraud in the academic scientific community. There are still too many perverse incentives driven by the fight over funding, career progression, and limited faculty positions. Yes, the big pharma funded studies that public policy hinges on need far more oversight. Millions if not billions of lives potentially hang in the balance. However, if we cannot reform the system for generating basic knowledge about the nature of reality, then we will be continually confused about why our technologies fail to work as intended and the foundation of our civilization risks being undermined with potentially far worse consequences than mere poor public health policy.
Want to talk conflict of interests go back to the first paper out of china identifying SARS-COV2, there were no conflicts listed in their disclosures while the study was paid for my PRC military and performed by American doctors and researchers, that is impossible, its conflicts all the way down.

The fundamental problem is 90% of voters think honest, peaceful adults should be regulated by bureaucrats.

Well said, all of it.
But "Decentralize the truth engine" should become a maxim to counter Th'Science™.
Great article! Great title! We do need to re-focus and stick together.
We found this 'cos we made a video out of Khan's "It Doesn't Matter" Check it out here: https://rumble.com/v22fap0-arkmedic-it-doesnt-matter-covid-drama.html
"Fiat medicine." Love it!

Has anyone a link to a good article breaking down the transfer of wealth that has occurred in the last 3 years?

How do I get involved? Is there an email or website that you have detailing this project?
