(Months)", "questionId": 7}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "According to Wikipedia, Science is a systematic endeavor that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the Universe. This agreed upon understanding of Science is an example of subjective empirical consensus. In contrast, the Scientific Method seeks to explain \u2013 objectively \u2013 the events of Nature in a reproducible way (e.g., acceleration of gravity = 9.8m/s^2; or more recently, the proof of existence of gravitational waves theorized by Einstein nearly a century ago). The integration of empirical subjectivity and mathematical objectivity, we can agree (haha) to understand as Consensual Reality.\n\nAnd indeed, herein lies the problem. How do we establish Consensus on Consensual Reality? \n\nThe Philosophy of Science addresses such related important questions pertaining to the reliability of Scientific Theories, which studies qualify as Science, and what the ultimate purpose of Science should be. According to the National Research Council of the United States, \u201cScientific Inquiry refers to the diverse ways in which scientists study the natural world and propose explanations based on the evidence derived from their work.\u201d Emphasis is placed on diversity here, because I believe the fundamental purpose of Science should be:\n\nDiscovery of Truth about our World & Universe, and its Application directed towards the advancement of Humanity for Well-Being & Prosperity.\n\nIn Decentralization of Science lies the Solution to Truth Discovery. Fortuitously, the Distributed Ledger Technology of Ethereum combines Discovery with Application through Smart Contracts. At a micro-scale we experience this reality each time we interact with a dApp; e.g., in Decentralized Finance, \u201ctruth\u201d about a counterparty is \u201cdiscovered\u201d and verified from the immutable chain of data that has been added to the distributed ledger, and the resultant collective consensus on this reality is \u201capplied\u201d towards a conceptual non-zero-sum outcome or yield for all interacting entities. Though MEV on Ethereum is undeniable, in comparison to Traditional Finance, Value Extraction remains inside the Markov Blanket \u2013 thereby facilitating a positive sum outcome. We go from theory to practice - and from Decentralized Finance to Decentralized Science \u2013 by chaining truth verification & application of events (consensus) across nodes on the programmable distributed ledger; mechanistically like our Nervous System engages in hierarchical message passing in order to minimize prediction errors (Free Energy). \n\nIn other words, Consensus on Reality employs a \u201cBottom-Up\u201d mechanism. Since the time when a modern set of standards for the scientific method grounded in critical rationalism and falsification parametrized our contemporary scientific paradigm, scientific progress has prospered via the \u201cdevelopment-by-accumulation\u201d mechanism. Simultaneously, institutions have also become centralized and gated \u2013 and along with them, so has Science & Academia. The COVID pandemic was a wake-up call which should be interpreted as a signal to modify and evolve our paradigm. An asymmetrically weighted approach of \u201cTop-Down\u201d decision making and Centralized Science has, in this context, resulted in many negative externalities \u2013 or \u201canomalies\u201d \u2013 as Thomas Kuhn has written, which cannot be accounted for.\n\nMore accurately then, Consensus on Reality can come closer to Truth when a new equilibrium between \u201cBottom-Up\u201d and \u201cTop-Down\u201d is established. Decentralization of Science will lead the way.\n\nRoadmap and timeline for implementation will be updated as these ideas are disseminated, debated, and ideally agreed upon within the broader DeSci community. At this time, we are motivated to onboard the next wave of users to web3 in order to prioritize decentralization and value creation for the people. Money, DeFi, DeID, DAOs, Hybrid Applications (Vitalik\u2019s app wishlist for Ethereum) and more will be integrated in this \u201cgrand coalition\u201d (to use John Nash\u2019s lingo) which has been depicted as the Archimedes\u2019 Lever.\n\nPlease refer to Scientific Methods and the Decentralization of Science for further context:\nhttps://mirror.xyz/bhau.eth/kyQAP2pQgCfysn7iGyL3KgtoM1-lWUfObHUA3HqM050\n", "hidden": true, "question": "Describe your project in a few paragraphs (ideally including a problem statement, solution, roadmap, and timeline for implementation)", "questionId": 8}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "This project supports the mission of Decentralized Science by advancing the diversification of methodologies in which scientists study the natural world and propose explanations based on the evidence derived from their work, and by leveraging Smart Contracts (and triple-entry accounting) to enhance well-being and prosperity of end users that shall be onboarded to web3, beginning with Decentralized Identity acquisition.", "hidden": true, "question": "How does your project support the mission or goals of DeSci?", "questionId": 9}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "Funds will be used to facilitate deployment of the Archimedes\u2019 Lever in a multitude of ways.

E.g., EEG equipment will be purchased to provide much needed life-transforming psychiatric interventions to patients at private practice clinics\n-\tWeb3 x Psychiatry 3.0 (https://mirror.xyz/bhau.eth/kGs_b0VelAQdntUj3vJqWb0bYsLhNiu8vFsMmTM54Ho) = Psych3\n-\tNaturally, these endeavors will integrate existing technological DeSci infrastructure (e.g., Hypercerts) and build upon it to democratize diagnostic & therapeutic applications of Psychiatry 3.0; and more broadly, Depth Psychology. Importantly, Therapeutic Alliances between Patients & Physicians are likely to be emboldened as 3rd party value extraction becomes mitigated with Smart Contracts & Peer-to-Peer Consensus.

A very big thank you to all supporters of such innovative ideas that cannot grow and impact the world in the realms of Traditional Academia.\n\nThis project is about restoring the Spirit of Science and directing it towards the intended purpose of the Scientific Process - Discovery of Truth. Today, Governance over the Scientific Process is misdirected towards proving that which is desired to be established as truth, for the purposes of control and profits by 3rd parties. This can be summarized by Goodhart's Law: \n\n\"When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.\"\n\nThe Scientific Process is driven by the motive to gather evidence against the null hypothesis in order to disprove it, consequently lending credence to the hypothesis in mind. The inverse is ubiquitous. The Scientific Process is heavily influenced by Ego Bias - the self-oriented drive to extract value for oneself at the expense of others; the opposite of Public Good. \n\nThis is fundamentally causally related to the plethora of global problems humanity faces today; therefore, we must facilitate the widespread adoption of Decentralized Science #DeSci\n\nThis project aims to Apply Archimedes' Insights by symbolically deploying the Archimedes Lever, so as to onboard the next wave of users to web3. Innovations in Money, Decentralized Finance, Decentralized Governance, Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, Decentralized Identity, and Hybrid Applications will be integrated to create and deliver Value for web3 citizens - for We, the People.\n\nThis project is for those who believe the IMPOSSIBLE is POSSIBLE - to those who believe in the Infinite Garden & the Infinite Machine; to everyone who is here to uncover & discover Truth; to us all who live to unlock the untapped potential of Decentralized Science #DeSci - to the ground shakers & the Earth Movers - LFG \ud83c\udf0e\ud83d\udd25\ud83d\ude80\n\nStay Hungry; Stay Foolish \ud83e\udd2a\ud83d\ude08\ud83d\ude0e", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectTwitter": "bhau_jagmd"}, "recipient": "0xc4450c8d1009160883e44f24d66d92436ae4B4C5"}}
