I suppose there's some irony in seeing #Science promoting #Patents, which have no scientific evidence that they work (to promote wide distribution of innovation). It's old-school hierarchy, like Divine Rights of Kings, Slavery, or State Religion, whose main goal is to consolidate personal power.

Beyond all that, the new #paradigm balks. Realizing that even if we imagine the impossible workable patent philosophy as correct, the time scales have now flipped gears. As long as #knowledge can't keep up w/ info anymore, the patent incentive is in the wrong direction. bsky.app/profile/malt...
